The call for applications is open to all companies, preferably Parisian, in the preclinical stage with strong development potential in the pharmatech or medtech sector. The eHealth sector represents 1,400 companies, 93% of which are start-ups and SMEs; the French medical devices sector represents 88,000 direct jobs in France for a turnover of 30.7 billion euros (SNITEM). Since 2016, the percentage of studies using connected medical device technologies has doubled and now stands at 8%, with 10% of Phase II and III studies now involving connected devices (IQVIA Institute, Digital Health Trends 2021). Health is also one of the priorities of the government’s France 2030 plan. A program called Health20 was also launched in November...

Interview – Supporter of the cypherpunk movement, Frenchman Julien Guyton considers that only bitcoin can protect his privacy. Meet him BFM Crypto. In 1988 he appeared “The Anarchist Crypto Manifesto” by Timothy May, which aims to put individuals back in control of their privacy through encryption. A few years later, in 1993, Eric Hughes was published “Cypherpunk Manifesto” . These foundational texts, which are references to individuals who call themselves “crypto-anarchists,” gave real meaning to Bitcoin, which came out in 2009. BFM Crypto met one of them, Frenchman Julien Guiton. Today, he is a strong advocate for this movement in France. He also produced a French translation of Eric Hughes’ Manifesto, which he sent to people asking for it, and of which an excerpt is here. “Privacy is essential for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not a secret. Private is what an individual does not want the whole world to know, bu...

Zap Autonews Green Paris Motor Show 2022: Alpine Alpenglow After the R5, it is the turn of another cult model of the Losange to be reinterpreted as a concept car. On the occasion of the 2022 Paris Motor Show, Renault unveils the Renault 4EVER Trophy, a style study that takes the form of a modern and electric version of the Renault 4. The one commonly called 4L thus becomes a small SUV, which pays tribute to the solidarity attack of the 4L Trophy. Whoever says SUV, necessarily says a little muscular. The Renault 4EVER Trophy is no exception to the rule and takes on an imposing silhouette, even though Renault says it wants to maintain a relationship with the 4L. So we recognize the silhouette of the famous small car, especially at the level of the rear. Equipped with guards, the wheel arches are particularly wide. Sign that the car can get off the beaten track with an overhang of more than 20 centimeters. An illuminated grille, with a very graphic style Start slideshow R...

Shipping giant ABB took advantage of CES in Las Vegas to unveil a new home charging station called Terra Home. Thanks to its many functions, it makes it possible in particular to favor green energy to recharge vehicles connected to it and to integrate Plug & Charge. In May 2020, Emmanuel Macron made a promise: 100,000 public charging stations will be available in France by the end of 2021. A year after the deadline, that goal is clearly out of reach. In fact, according to the Aver website, it was the area 82,107 charge points as of December 31, 2022 While electric cars accounted for 13% of sales since the beginning of the year. Suffice it to say we’re still a long way from getting there… New generation Fortunately, many players are developing and setting up all over the place, such as Fastned, Electra, Ionity, or TotalEnergies. But if it’s increasingly easy to recharge your car in public, a study by Enedis shows it 92% of electric vehicle owners bring e...

This is not the first automotive project of engineering students from the Netherlands University of Applied Sciences of Eindhoven University of Technology. The previous promotions had already worked on economical cars: Noah, Lina, Nova, Isa… so many vehicles with a somewhat strange look, which cannot hide their “crafted” appearance. But ideas melt together in the minds of young Dutch people which this year have focused on capturing CO2, in addition to using more sustainable and recycled materials . In short, a compendium of ecology on an exercise that is of course difficult for anyone to translate to an industrial scale. Not necessarily for cost issues, but rather standards, safety and certification issues! But whatever, some ideas could find their way into our cars sometime in the future. The electric car that “breathes” CO2. Because CO2 is a greenhouse gas that takes a long time to dissipate, some manufacturers (particularly those producing hyd...

What if charging an electric car is cheaper than we imagine? The free fees are still around at the beginning of 2023, but they are becoming increasingly exceptional. Let’s take stock of these rare pearls that let you ride without paying. Source: Ulrich Rozier for Frandroid Electric cars are much cheaper on a daily basis than their thermal counterparts. In fact, the cost of an electric car per kWh in the home is about 0.174 euros, and often 100 kilometers of an electric car costs less than three euros. For a gasoline-powered car to be competitive, it must consume fuel Less than two liters per 100 km It is a waste of time. On longer trips, as we regularly highlight, the bill can add up exponentially due to express charging at much higher rates, up to four times more expensive than home. What if we told you that there are ways to drive electric even for less, or even for free? Let’s see what it is. Express shipping is very expensive Crossing France in an electric ...

Chinese manufacturer BYD will be present at the Paris Motor Show, which will be held from October 17 to 23, while the marketing of cars in Europe should start in the fourth quarter of 2022. The BYD Tang, a 100% electric SUV already on the market in Norway, should gradually enter Europe. // Source: BYD BMW, Audi, Citroën, Ferrari, Hyundai, Kia, Porsche, Toyota… Not all the manufacturers mentioned will be present at the next “Paris Motor Show” which will take place from 17 to 23 October at Porte de Versailles, Paris. Trade shows no longer appeal to manufacturers for various reasons : exorbitant participation costs, low media attention (one novelty drives out another) and little (or no) profitability. Many manufacturers, including French, will therefore not participate in this year’s Paris Motor Show. However, the Football World Cup returns with a new formula after a four-year absence due to the health crisis. Though the absent will be many, several manufacturers will be pr...
