Telendo has been named one of the winners of the 2025 i-Lab innovation competition, organized by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and operated by Bpifrance as part of the France 2030 plan. This national competition rewards each year the most promising deep-tech projects emerging from public research, initiatives that carry breakthrough innovations with strong industrial potential.
A recognition of Telendo’s technological and medical potential
This distinction confirms both the relevance and ambition of the Telendo project: providing gastroenterologists with a holistic solution that optimizes their practice through complete, analyzed visualization of the organ.
In a context where a significant number of gastrointestinal cancers still escape detection during standard examinations, Telendo is developing a unique technology for structured digital reconstruction of endoscopic examinations, ensuring completeness, precision, and traceability while reducing clinicians’ administrative burden.
A key step toward industrialization
After several years of academic research and technological maturation, this national recognition marks a decisive milestone in Telendo’s trajectory.
Support from the i-Lab program will accelerate the industrialization phase, strengthen regulatory structuring, and expand clinical partnerships in preparation for deployment at the European scale.
Through this momentum, Telendo aligns fully with the objectives of France 2030, contributing to Europe’s technological and healthcare sovereignty.
