Ecosystem
The ecosystem
BIOASTER is an actor in or member of various networks that aim to facilitate the application of technological innovation in the health sector.
BIOASTER is at the heart of the health ecosystem in France. This positioning allows the Institute to provide its partners with knowledge of the networks that exist in the sector, both to identify and engage the most appropriate players in a project and to promote new synergies and complementarity that benefit all the parties concerned.
Thematic Networks
Hub VPH
BIOASTER is one of the founding partners of the HUB VPH (Veterinary Public Health). The HUB VPH (Veterinary Public Health) is an unprecedented public-private initiative that involves nine major players in the health ecosystem in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
This first Veterinary Public Health hub was created on the basis of a common desire: to become a world-class reference center for Veterinary Public Health, and was driven by the strong collaborative tradition in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and recognition of the importance of addressing international Veterinary Public Health issues.

APM
BIOASTER is one of the founders of the Alliance Promotion Microbiote (APM). The APM was instigated not only to consolidate the existing ecosystem, but also to develop it, strengthen it, and accelerate the deployment of potential approaches to address the key challenges of attractiveness, national interest, health independence, and access to innovative therapies in France.
Antibiodeal
Afin de structurer la recherche française et le développement de nouveaux agents antimicrobiens, le réseau AntibioDEAL a été créé dans le cadre du méta- réseau professionnel PROMISE soutenu par le Plan Prioritaire de Recherche
sur la résistance aux antibiotiques. Les objectifs principaux d’AntibioDEAL sont :
– D’inventorier et connecter les forces nationales impliquées dans la découverte de nouveaux antibiotiques ;
– D’identifier les freins de la recherche et prioriser les verrous à lever ;
– De proposer et diffuser des solutions pour contourner ou lever ces freins.

France Biolead
France BioLead, the French biomanufacturing sector, brings together all the players of French biomanufacturing, including manufacturers (pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, CDMOs, CROs, equipment manufacturers, suppliers of technological solutions and consumables), academic research, training providers, the French government and competitive clusters, associations and professional unions.
Its ambition is to structure and manage a unique French biomanufacturing industry with the support of the French government, to make France a leader in biomanufacturing in Europe.
Bioproduction
TWB
BIOASTER is a member of the Toulouse White Biotechnology (TWB) consortium. TWB provides concrete assistance for companies and biotechnology entrepreneurs in the development of products and processes using bio-sourced raw materials, from the laboratory to the pre-industrial pilot stage. As a member of the Strategic Orientation Committee, BIOASTER contributes to the definition of TWB’s roadmap and to the annual selection of self-financed public research projects, using its knowledge and vision regarding biotechnology and technological tools.
AMR
S.O.L.V.E. AMR
Solutions for Overcoming and Leveraging Versatile Efforts Against Microbial Resistance
Pioneering initiative to Fast-Track Antimicrobials from R&D to commercialization This hub is dedicated to support innovative AMR solutions for Biopharma Companies. BIOASTER, Cynbiose www.cynbiose.com, ICTA www.icta-group.com, and PharmaLex www.pharmalex.com have launched a strategic collaboration that aims to help combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As
part of the initiative, the organizations will leverage their collective expertise and capabilities to offer innovative and integrated support from discovery, pre-clinical and clinical drug development processes up to registration and commercialization, helping to accelerate the development of antimicrobials.
