In the background, Alan's contract with the French social security system and the ten billion in commercial revenue reported by Microsoft on its arrangements with OpenAI are reminders that the boundary between insurance, software, and AI infrastructure continues to be redrawn at an accelerating pace.

- Acto RH
Belvedia acquires Acto RH and crosses the 130-agency threshold
Belvedia acquires Acto RH and crosses the 130-agency threshold
Belvedia is a network of business services agencies — including the COPYTOP brand, active for fifty years in printing, communication, and local consulting in city centers, in daily contact with large groups, SMEs, startups, and liberal professions throughout France. Acto RH is a human resources services structure whose specific activity is not detailed in the available sources. The acquisition, the amount of which was not disclosed, brings the Belvedia network to 130 agencies.
Strategic reading: in local service networks, territorial density is the main asset — it determines commercial capillarity, cost mutualization, and the ability to respond to national calls for tenders. Crossing a symbolic threshold like 130 agencies is not insignificant: it's the kind of size that changes the nature of the interlocutors one can address on the key accounts side.

- DYAMEO
DYAMEO: verifying in the operating room that the tumor is completely removed
DYAMEO: verifying in the operating room that the tumor is completely removed
DYAMEO, a French medtech founded in 2023, develops devices to help surgeons control in real-time, during the operation itself, that resection margins are clear — meaning no tumor cells remain in the surrounding tissues. Today, this confirmation often only comes after the intervention, via delayed anatomopathological analysis, which forces some patients into heavy post-operative treatments or re-intervention.
The solution relies on three combined elements: patented biological reagent capsules that clip onto a probe and react upon contact with cancer cells, an optical fiber probe that the surgeon applies to the surgical specimen, and TempoTouch®, an instant analysis system that displays a readable result in the operating room. The technology integrates into existing practices without modifying the surgical gesture.
DYAMEO announces a fundraising of 3 million euros. Historical investors Medevice Capital and NACO renew their participation; Bpifrance via its Amorçage Industriel fund, OBRATORI, and Estellior Capital join the round, alongside French entrepreneurs. The stated objective for 2026 is to obtain CE marking and commercial launch in operating theaters, after a first clinical trial conducted in six centers of excellence in France with results deemed conclusive.
This 3 million euro round is a regulatory threshold-crossing round, not a growth round: the money finances CE marking, the mandatory gateway to the European market. The main risk is no longer scientific — the clinical trial is conclusive — it is operational and commercial: transforming clinical proof into actual adoption in operating theaters where surgeon time is the most constrained asset.
