Major market, industry and society trends affect our society and the business world. Understanding their implications is essential to our business and to building a relevant response for our clients and collaborators. Beyond our contribution to improving the framework in the healthcare ecosystem, we are convinced that we have a responsibility to play a larger role in our society. In this rapidly changing world, controlling risks and anticipating new uses are essential to guarantee performance and sustainability. We are committed and wish to have a positive and lasting impact, which goes beyond our missions and our expertise.
