ABOUT T-HEART
T-Heart is a French MedTech company focused on the treatment of Tricuspid Regurgitation, a true medical unmet need. Tricuspid regurgitation is a progressive condition in which blood leaks backward through the tricuspid valve, potentially leading to heart failure and death. The transcatheter tricuspid market represents a $3.0+ billion potential opportunity, although currently, limited treatment options exist to address this market.
T-Heart has developed a truly novel and differentiated transcatheter tricuspid prosthetic heart valve specifically designed for tricuspid heart valve regurgitation, thereby addressing the specific anatomical challenges. Moreover, T-Heart's unique design enables the interventional cardiologist to replace the diseased tricuspid valve with a simple one-step technique and allows for broad applicability to a larger patient population with minimal device sizes.
T-Heart was co-founded in late 2018 with iBionext, a company builder and investor that supports and finances the development of companies with a strong technological breakthrough in HealthTech in Paris, France.
Since its inception, T-Heart has assembled an impressive team, comprised of management and external experts, has successfully proved the concept through pre-clinical testing and initiated its Q-Sub for EFS with the FDA.

Microsoft has become a licensee of the Sisvel Wi-Fi Multimode pool. The US computer and software giant is the latest in a string of major companies to take a licence to the standard essential patents offered through the programme.

STOKR Secures CASP and PI Licences in Luxembourg Ahead of MiCAR Deadline30.6.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
STOKR, the Luxembourg-based digital securities platform, has received authorisation from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and the Law of 10 November 2009 on payment services, securing its Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) and Payment Institution (PI) licences just over a week before MiCAR's 1 July 2026 enforcement deadline. Digital securities fall outside MiCAR's scope but the payment leg does not. To receive, hold, and transfer crypto assets and stablecoins on behalf of clients during subscription and redemption, a platform requires a CASP licence under MiCAR and a PI. Without both, a platform can issue digital securities but cannot move the capital. With MiCAR's transitional period ending on 30 June 2026, a significant number crypto-asset providers across Europe are still awaiting the authorisation they need to keep operating in the EU, and many face suspending services. The authorisation grants S
