– FRANCE, Illkirch-Graffenstaden – Syndivia, a research-driven biotechnology company focused on the development of new therapeutic modalities for cancers, today announced that it will benefit from €2m deep tech financing from Bpifrance. Proceeds will be used to further fund the advancement of one company’s drug candidate towards the clinic.
The Deeptech plan was initiated by the French government and has been deployed by Bpifrance since 2019 to support deep tech startups resulting from research based on breakthrough innovations. The main objective is to allow these companies to grow and to stimulate innovation by strengthening the links between academia and the entrepreneurial world.
“We are very grateful to Bpifrance for this generous support. This financing will largely accelerate the development of our lead immunoconjugate for various cancer indications, which to date have a very limited number of effective treatment options,” said Sasha Koniev, CEO.
Alban Stamm, in charge of innovation at Bpifrance, said, “Syndivia, which initially emerged from the research of academic laboratories supported by SATT Conectus and reinforced with iLab 2014 (emergence) and 2015 (development) grants, succeeded in bringing together all the ingredients to meet technological challenges. At Bpifrance, we appreciate Syndivia’s progress to date and especially value the team: initially composed of young researchers with strong entrepreneurial capacity, it surrounded itself with an experienced board bringing together all the key success factors of a biotech startup.”
