2023 will be an important year for TISSIUM with important milestones to be reached in all verticals; especially when it comes to the final steps towards the commercialization of its first products in 2024.

"We are delighted to be part, once again, of the French Tech 120 program, especially considering a 2023 year that will mark the achievement of important milestones regarding our strategic plan and further expansion of our growing business in light of the upcoming commercialization of our first products in 2024. For the fourth year in a row, our participation in the French Tech 120 continues to be a staple of recognition in our ongoing efforts of transforming tissue repair" said Christophe Bancel, CEO of TISSIUM.
