India and France have joined forces to establish the Indo-French Life Sciences Sister Innovation Hub, a bilateral initiative aimed at fostering collaboration in healthcare innovation. The announcement was made in a joint statement by the heads of governments of both nations during the Paris AI Summit.

The initiative is a partnership between India’s Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) and France’s PariSanté Campus, a leading digital health innovation cluster. 



The agreement focuses on two key areas—One Health and Digital Health Technologies—to enable targeted solutions for healthcare challenges across geographical boundaries.

The Letter of Intent (LoI) was signed by Taslimarif Saiyed, director-CEO of C-CAMP, and professor Antoine Tesnière, director of PariSanté Campus. 

Saiyed welcomed the collaboration, emphasizing the role of C-CAMP and PariSanté Campus in driving innovation. “This clearly indicates the urgency of intent between the two countries to improve the quality and delivery of healthcare for the larger society. The partnership’s first goal would be to galvanise global networks of excellence and leverage mutual ecosystems to support researchers and innovators developing cutting-edge solutions from one geography to the other. C-CAMP and PariSanté Campus will play the central role in enabling this.”

Mark Lamy, Consul General of France in Bangalore, also expressed his enthusiasm, highlighting the initiative’s potential to drive groundbreaking innovations. “This partnership will pave the way for groundbreaking innovations. Indeed, the French government that I represent is very proud to see the emergence of such a collaboration and we will keep on supporting the scientific and academic cooperation between our two countries."

The Indo-French Life Sciences Sister Innovation Hub marks a significant step in strengthening healthcare ties between the two nations. The first initiatives under this agreement are expected to be announced soon.
