BIOCORP and SANOFI Strengthen Their Partnership With Mallya Smart Sensors
14.1.2020 20:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Regulatory News:
BIOCORP (Paris:ALCOR) (FR0012788065 - ALCOR / Eligible PEA PME), a French company specialized in the development and manufacturing of medical devices and smart drug delivery systems, and SANOFI announce today, the signature of a new contract concerning BIOCORP’s smart sensor Mallya.
Negotiations started in July 2019 have led the BIOCORP and SANOFI teams to strengthen their collaboration, developing real synergies around the Mallya system. A new project aiming at closely associating Mallya with SoloStar insulin pens is thus initiated today.
BIOCORP, which has already received €6 million in upfront payments from SANOFI in 2019, is today receiving a new €1 million upfront payment with an additional €12 million milestone payments spread over the period of the collaboration. Additional revenues will be generated from the production of Mallya devices by BIOCORP on behalf of SANOFI.
Eric Dessertenne, Chief Executive Officer of BIOCORP, commented: " After several months of development work to meet the specific needs of our partner SANOFI, we are pleased with the renewed confidence of our partner who is committed to working alongside us for the design, development and distribution of a brand new device in the Mallya range. Our technology, combined with SANOFI's commercial strength, will make it possible to offer to a very large number of patients with diabetes the most efficient and precise solution for monitoring and follow-up of their pathology on the market. Together, we are convinced that improving compliance remains the last hurdle to enable patients to live in the best possible conditions with this chronic disease. “
The smart sensor will record the dosage when a person uses a SoloStar pen to administer insulin. This information can be combined with blood glucose levels recorded by Sanofi’s digital monitoring platform, which currently includes the MyStar DoseCoach® blood glucose meter and the My Dose Coach™ smartphone app. As a result, users will be able to track more easily how their insulin intake, lifestyle, diet and exercise, contribute to changes in their blood sugar levels. The My Dose Coach platform can also suggest adjustments to insulin dose, as part of a titration algorithm recommended by their physician.
“This partnership will drive meaningful changes by delivering a connected device experience for potentially millions of people living with diabetes who use insulin,” said Chris Boulton, Head of Integrated Care, Primary Care, Sanofi. “In addition to complementing our portfolio, it helps to build a connected ecosystem that provides people with diabetes, and their physicians, with a long-term overview of their disease management, creating opportunities for improved patient self-care between visits.”
ABOUT BIOCORP
Recognized for its expertise in the development and manufacture of medical devices and delivery systems, BIOCORP has today acquired a leading position in the connected medical device market thanks to Mallya. This intelligent sensor for insulin injection pens allows reliable monitoring of injected doses and thus offers better compliance in the treatment of diabetics. Available for sale from 2020, Mallya spearheads BIOCORP's product portfolio of innovative connected solutions. The company has 54 employees.
BIOCORP is listed on Euronext since July 2015 (FR0012788065 – ALCOR).

IQM and Zurich Instruments Launch Real-Time Quantum Error Correction Demonstrator with NVIDIA NVQLink16.3.2026 23:24:00 EET | Press release
Today, IQM Quantum Computers and Zurich Instruments announce a joint project to build and operate a real-time quantum error correction (QEC) demonstrator, enabled by the NVIDIA NVQLink platform. This project marks a significant milestone toward scalable and fault-tolerant quantum computing designed for enterprise and datacenter deployment. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260316511715/en/ IQM and Zurich Instruments launch real-time quantum error correction demonstrator with NVIDIA NVQLink As enterprises and public institutions worldwide move from quantum exploration to long-term deployment, the challenge has evolved beyond simply accessing quantum hardware. The focus is now on reliably operating quantum computers, seamlessly integrating them into existing compute infrastructure, and scaling them toward fault tolerance. The announced project directly addresses these needs by focusing on full-system integration f
NetApp Accelerates Momentum in AI Leadership with NVIDIA16.3.2026 22:30:00 EET | Press release
NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced enhancements to its enterprise-grade data platform, enabling customers to remove roadblocks to AI innovation. In addition to supporting the latest innovations from NVIDIA announced at GTC, NetApp is launching NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE)—a secure, unified AI data platform stack co-engineered with NVIDIA and integrated with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design. A foundational challenge for AI is enabling enterprises to discover, understand, and govern the data they have across their global data estates. If data is AI’s fuel, finding and using the best data is essential to making truly transformative AI. NetApp AIDE helps enterprises solve this need through an automatically created—and continuously updated—global metadata catalog with powerful search capabilities. Critically, the NetApp AIDE metadata catalog goes beyond standard file system metadata and actively analyzes file content to semantica

Kinaxis Advances Large-Scale Supply Chain Optimization with NVIDIA AI16.3.2026 22:30:00 EET | Press release
Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced a new milestone in advancing large-scale supply chain optimization within the Kinaxis Maestro™ platform. Maestro already delivers high-performance optimization across complex global supply chains, and Kinaxis is now extending that leadership by leveraging GPU acceleration powered by NVIDIA cuOpt™ and NVIDIA AI infrastructure. As supply chains grow in scale and complexity, planning models must reconcile tens of millions of variables across extended time horizons and multiple planning levels. As model size expands, the number of potential decisions can scale into billions, dramatically increasing computational needs. Organizations are no longer constrained by insight alone. They are constrained by how quickly they can iterate. In testing on a large-scale semiconductor planning model with nearly 50 million decision variables, Kinaxis achieved up to a 12X reduction in total end-to-end calculation time.
