At the center of the partnership is a shared ambition to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing expertise, technical rigor and a strong quality foundation closer to the evolving needs of the compounding industry. Medisca’s approach begins at the source, with the manufacturer, the specifications and technical documentation behind an API and continues through the quality systems and controls that support it through to the customer. Through the partnership, EUROAPI will provide available technical and regulatory information relating to the APIs, strengthening the connection between manufacturing expertise and Medisca’s quality infrastructure. EUROAPI’s focus on green chemistry, and sustainability further supports Medisca’s commitment to responsible sourcing and broader social impact.

The relationship is also designed to grow. Medisca and EUROAPI intend to collaborate on customer initiatives, training and commercial activities, while adding new APIs over time and evaluating opportunities across additional markets.

Advancing collaboration in peptides

Peptides are an important area of strategic collaboration for Medisca and EUROAPI. As Medisca continues to expand its global peptide strategy for pharmaceutical compounding and personalized medicine, the companies intend to explore opportunities that combine Medisca’s market expertise with EUROAPI’s capabilities in complex API development and manufacturing. The collaboration creates a foundation to advance their work in peptides as the market continues to evolve.

“Medisca’s depth of expertise in pharmaceutical compounding and its close understanding of the market make it a strong strategic partner for EUROAPI,” said Frederic Robert, Chief Commercial Officer at EUROAPI. “This relationship creates new opportunities to broaden access to our APIs, expand our reach in the compounding market and develop our collaboration in areas such as peptides.

iQmetrix Launches Vendor Managed Inventory Integration with Valor Communication

 VANCOUVER, British Columbia - 

The addition of Valor Communication marks another step in the rapid expansion of the iQmetrix Partner Ecosystem, bringing clients a growing network of integrated partners that work natively inside the platform they already run their business on.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--iQmetrix, the global provider of Intelligent Commerce Operating Systems for telecom, is launching a Vendor Managed Inventory integration with Valor Communication, a factory-direct wireless accessory manufacturer and distributor serving carriers, retailers, and dealers since 1997. Built into the iQmetrix Intelligent Commerce Operating System, the integration connects Valor's assortment directly to the platform telecom retailers already run their business on – so replenishment runs on real sell-through data instead of guesswork, and approved accessories move from Valor's floor to the peg without manual reordering. The integration will be available to retailers across the iQmetrix client base. The addition of Valor Communication marks another step in the rapid expansion of the iQmetrix Partner Ecosystem, bringing clients a growing network of integrated partners that work natively inside the platform they already run their business on.

The initial rollout features a curated assortment of the newest MyBat Pro products in updated branding and packaging, led by protection for the latest iPhone generation and a new power lineup. Behind that assortment, Valor owns its manufacturing. Product development and tooling run through Valor's own Shenzhen factory, with packaging, distribution, and fulfillment handled in-house from California and Texas – which means shorter lead times on device launches, tighter cost control, and one accountable partner instead of a chain of handoffs.

“Accessory inventory is where a lot of retailers quietly lose margin – overstocked on last year's model, out of stock on this year's. Our VMI integration with iQmetrix fixes that inside the system retailers already use: real sell-through data driving real replenishment decisions, managed by us. What makes it work is that we own the line end to end – we design it, we build it, we ship it – so when a retailer needs product moved, there's no third party in the middle. For iQmetrix clients, that means a 16,000-SKU catalog, six in-house brands covering every price point, and one partner accountable from concept to peg.”

Tom Redington

VP of Sales, Valor Communication

“The best partnerships are the ones that solve a problem our clients deal with every day,” said Channing Kochylema, Director, Partner Ecosystem at iQmetrix. “Accessory inventory has always been a manual, disconnected process for wireless retailers – this VIS integration fixes that. Valor's catalog now flows directly into RQ, with replenishment driven by real sell-through data instead of guesswork. We're excited to help our clients turn accessory attach into the high-margin opportunity it should be.”

Channing Kochylema

Director, Partner Ecosystem 

About Valor Communication

Valor Communication has spent nearly three decades doing something most accessory suppliers don’t: owning the whole line. Founded in 1997, Valor develops, manufactures, packages, distributes, and fulfills its own products rather than brokering someone else’s. That vertical control is what lets Valor move fast on new device launches, hold pricing through volatile cost cycles, and build programs other suppliers have to outsource.

The result is a portfolio of 16,000+ active SKUs across protection, power, audio, attachables, and wearables, anchored by six in-house brands – MyBat Pro, MyBat, AmpNergy, echelon, baseline, and EcoBlvd – spanning premium to value so a retailer can fill an entire peg wall from a single partner. Alongside those brands, Valor curates a selection of third-party brands, giving retailers one purchase order instead of a dozen vendor relationships.

Valor pairs that catalog with the operational and marketing infrastructure retailers need to actually sell it: 250,000+ square feet of fulfillment across California and Texas, vendor managed inventory, merchandising and display support, sales enablement materials, and dealer incentive programs. Commercially, Valor is built for how wireless retail actually buys – no minimum order quantities, flexible payment terms, and free ground shipping on orders of $100 or more. Products already reach 21,000+ retail locations today.

About iQmetrix

iQmetrix is the global provider of Intelligent Commerce Operating Systems for telecom. It replaces fragmented legacy stacks with a modern, modular operating layer that orchestrates telcos, retailers, vendors, and OEMs into one intelligent flow across channels and markets. The result is less complexity, lower cost, and the speed to move ahead. 

For more than 27 years, iQmetrix has  been helping the leading brands in telecom grow by providing best-in-class software, services, and expertise. Its solutions power $17BN in sales annually, handling nearly 53 million invoices and more than 28 million activations, and are used by more than 370,000 telecom professionals across more than 10,000 locations. iQmetrix is a privately held software-as-a-service (SaaS) company with employees in Canada, the U.S., India, and Europe.

Rivercell Launches With $25 Million to Build Data Platforms and AI Models That Predict How Human Cells Respond to Treatment

PARIS - Wednesday, 07. October 2026

Founded by serial entrepreneur and CEO, Yann Fleureau, and former AI research leader at Novartis and Owkin Eric Durand, Rivercell aims to generate high-resolution data on how human cells respond to treatments at scale and train AI models to predict their effects, ultimately accelerating the discovery and development of cures.

Seed round led by HV, with participation from HCVC, Alven, and Bpifrance Digital Venture, to scale Rivercell's proprietary data engine and automated wet lab, and ship the first AI world model of the cell trained on a new data substrate.

Eric Durand joins as co-founder and Chief Science Officer (CSO). At Novartis, he successfully supported around 300 drug programs before building Owkin’s data science team as Chief Data Science Officer, giving him first-hand insight into the data that today's bio world models are missing.

Leading researchers in AI for biomedicine, Dr. Charlotte Bunne (EPFL) and Prof. Fabian Theis (Helmholtz Munich), join the Scientific Advisory Board.

The platform is designed to be a horizontal, indication-agnostic discovery engine, applicable across indications like oncology, immunology, rare diseases, and cardiometabolic disease.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rivercell, a Paris-based biotechnology and AI company building its own data infrastructure on how human cells respond to any treatment and training a world model of the cell that can predict those responses, today announced a $25 million seed round led by HV. HCVC, Alven and Bpifrance Digital Venture also participated in the round, which will fund the scale-up of Rivercell’s proprietary data generation platform, the expansion of its wet lab in Paris (a lab working with chemicals and biological samples), and the launch of its AI Virtual Cell program. Being indication-agnostic, Rivercell's world model can drive groundbreaking discovery across any cell behavior that leads to disease because it learns the underlying rules of how human cells respond to drugs and genetic changes, not the features of a single disease.

Rivercell was started in summer 2025 by CEO Yann Fleureau, the engineer-turned-entrepreneur behind AI company Cardiologs, joined in 2026 by CSO Eric Durand, an AI scientist and former C-Level executive at AI drug discovery unicorn Owkin. Rivercell builds a proprietary platform that generates massive, high-quality pre-training datasets to train its “AI virtual cell” (AIVC) model. AIVC is a world model designed to predict how human cells respond to a drug or genetic change in silico, reducing the overall need for physical wet-lab experiments significantly. Rivercell’s long-term goal is to fundamentally change drug discovery by accelerating and redesigning it. Developing a single drug can take years and be costly, with the industry investing nearly $300 billion in R&D each year.

Realizing this potential depends on data. AlphaFold revolutionized protein structure prediction because it could draw on decades of publicly available protein structure data. Building a comparable model of the cell is a far greater challenge: it requires diverse, multimodal, time-resolved data on how cells respond to perturbations. No such dataset exists at the scale needed today, so Rivercell is creating that foundation. The company generates a large-scale biological dataset and uses it to train its AI virtual cell. Because today's laboratory instruments were not designed for this application, Rivercell is developing an innovative, purpose-built platform capable of capturing the data at the scale required to pre-train its world model. The company describes this platform as the "GPU for the bio data center" of the future.

“A world model of the cell is the opportunity of the century in medicine. The missing piece is data: how cells change over time and under treatment, seen through multiple lenses and at multiple layers, captured at scale. Building that data engine in Europe is strategic, not only for Rivercell but for the continent's place in AI and biology," said Yann Fleureau, co-founder and CEO of Rivercell.

Engineer and serial entrepreneur Yann Fleureau previously co-founded and led AI diagnostics company Cardiologs, raising several funding rounds before its nine-figure acquisition by Philips in 2021. Data scientist Eric Durand was director of oncology data science at Novartis and served as Chief Data Science Officer at Owkin before co-founding bio foundation model company Bioptimus, which raised $76 million.

“AI is already rewriting how we understand the chemistry of life, from protein structure to molecular design. The next frontier is predicting how cells behave, and that requires a full-stack approach that combines a novel platform, automated wet labs, and world models. Yann and Eric bring exactly this combination of expertise, and with its footing in both Paris's AI ecosystem and Basel's pharma cluster, Rivercell is uniquely positioned to lead it,” said Maxi Pethö-Schramm, Principal at HV.

Rivercell is also backed by scientific advisors including Dr. Charlotte Bunne and Prof. Dr. Dr. Fabian Theis and angel investors including founders and executives from Twist Bioscience, DNA Script, Agilent and Abivax/Ipsen.

“AI virtual cells will transform how we understand and engineer biology. Rivercell’s ambition to unite large-scale perturbation experiments with AI simulation is why I’m excited to join its Scientific Advisory Board,” said Dr. Charlotte Bunne, Assistant Professor, Artificial Intelligence in Molecular Medicine at EPFL.

"Understanding how cells respond to perturbations, over time rather than in snapshots, is one of the big open problems in biology. Rivercell is tackling it at scale, with both the data and the AI models to match. I'm thrilled to join its Scientific Advisory Board," closed Prof. Fabian Theis, Director of the Computational Health Center at Helmholtz Munich, Scientific Director of Helmholtz AI and Professor of Mathematical Modeling of Biological Systems at the Technical University of Munich.

About Rivercell

Rivercell is building the data engine and the AI model that predict how living cells respond to drugs and genetic changes. Its proprietary in-house platform produces interventional, time-resolved, multimodal single-cell data at scale, which trains Rivercell's own AI world model of the cell. Rivercell is based in Paris, France. Learn more at rivercell.ai.

About its founders:

Yann Fleureau, a graduate of École Polytechnique and UC Berkeley, co-founded and led Cardiologs, the market leader in AI-based cardiac diagnostics, raising successive venture rounds before Philips acquired the company in 2021 in a nine-figure exit. Its technology now supports the diagnosis of more than two million patients a year. He also co-founded Numina, a non-profit developing AI for frontier reasoning in mathematics and physics.

Eric Durand, Rivercell’s co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer, spent seven years as Director of Data Science in oncology at Novartis, supporting hundreds of drug programs. He went on to serve as Chief Data Science Officer at Owkin, where he grew the AI team from 20 to more than 100 engineers, and co-founded the biology foundation-model company Bioptimus, which raised $76 million. Earlier in his career, he built one of the first consumer ancestry algorithms at 23andMe. He holds a PhD in statistics and population genetics and conducted postdoctoral studies at UC Berkeley.

illumynt Launches Talorem®, Bringing Engineering Rigor to Smarter Technology Reuse

 COLUMBUS, Ohio -

Proprietary technology platform delivers faster receiving, better asset intelligence, more accurate grading and higher recovery value.

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- illumynt, a technology-driven lifecycle management company serving AI infrastructure, hyperscale, OEM and enterprise environments, today announced the launch of Talorem®, its proprietary technology platform designed to bring greater precision, intelligence and recovery value to the management of advanced computing assets.

Talorem is illumynt’s proprietary technology platform for engineering-grade testing, refurbishment, recovery, grading and asset intelligence at scale. As the technology foundation behind illumynt’s advanced computing lifecycle operations, Talorem brings together OEM-grade testing and qualification, clean room component recovery, centralized grading infrastructure and analytics to create greater intelligence at every stage of the asset lifecycle-enabling faster processing, more accurate grading and higher recovery value.

“Talorem represents how we believe technology lifecycle management needs to evolve,” said Jörg Herbarth, CEO of illumynt. “The more precisely we can identify, test and understand an asset, the better decisions we can make about its next use—and the more value we can recover for our customers.”

The Engineering Rigor Behind Smart Reuse

As infrastructure becomes more complex and refresh cycles accelerate, traditional approaches to IT asset disposition can be limited by manual processes, generalized testing and incomplete asset data. Talorem applies engineering-grade methodology and standardized processes to determine whether technology should be redeployed, repaired, remarketed, harvested for high-value components or responsibly recycled.

Just as importantly, Talorem creates structured asset data throughout the process. As more equipment is processed, that intelligence builds over time, creating more accurate benchmarks, supporting more defensible recovery pricing and enabling lifecycle decisions grounded in observed asset performance rather than assumptions.

Built for the Economics of Advanced Computing

For hyperscalers, OEMs and enterprises, the economics of technology disposition are changing. Hardware is becoming more specialized, individual components can retain significant value even when a larger system reaches end of life, and accurate testing and grading can materially affect decisions around reuse, resale and recovery.

Talorem is built around that reality, combining engineering discipline with asset intelligence to help organizations understand not simply what an asset is, but what it can still do and what it is still worth.

“Circularity is increasingly an engineering and data challenge, not simply a logistics challenge,” Herbarth added. “Talorem gives us the ability to make smarter reuse and recovery decisions at scale while giving our customers greater visibility into the condition and value of their technology.”
