- DeepUll — DeepUll is a biotech company that focuses its activity on the development of a new diagnostic system for early-stage sepsis condition. DeepUll’s proposal is based on quickly identifying the pathogens and offering the antibiogram within a few hours on the one hand, and on using the data and learning about the patient’s immunological and functionalstatus on the other.

The patient can follow her results as well as her progress in the application and unlock new universes according to the points obtained. Much of the effort of Fizimed's technical teams is focused on balancing a product, combining the quality and safety of a medical device, with a fun application to empower each woman. One goal: the simplicity of the product and the interface for home use.Beyond the product, the Fizimed team is committed to the fight against taboos related to urinary incontinence problems affecting one in ten women. She wants to "demystify" this topic so that every woman can find her adapted solution. An EMY community is being born on social networks in which the feminine hassles are put into images and discussed with humor, while talking about innovations that can simplify their daily lives.In summary, EMY by Fizimed is the connected and fun medical probe that allows women wishing to regain control of their perineum to do their home exercises. It was developed by a dynamic Alsatian start-up whose ambition is to remove taboos on a public health issue.

Jacques-Antoine Granjon was born in Marseille on 9th August 1962 and studied at the prestigious European Business School (EBS). A born entrepreneur, he founded overstock distributer Cofotex S.A. with EBS friend Julien Sorbac in 1985. In 1996, Jacques-Antoine bought and renovated the former print works of national French newspaper Le Monde in LaPlaine Saint-Denis (93), just outside of Paris, setting up Oredis group HQ.In 2000, he and his business partners realised that the Internet was “an opportunity to welcome the world in a virtual store with digital catalogues”. This realization led to the creation of a revolutionary concept: an online platform entirely dedicated to flash sales for brands.In January 2001, Jacques-Antoine and his seven business partners launched vente-privee.com in France, before e-commerce had barely started in Europe. He then applied his extensive experience to the Internet, selling excess stock for important fashion and home brands, relying on two main strategies: events and exclusivity, all the while focusing on customer satisfaction. In 2012, he went on to win the “Customer Service Award” for the fourth year in a row, presented to him by the Institute BVA-Viséo Conseil, France’s fourth market research company.It was not until 2004 that the website’s success became apparent. In 2005, its turnover grew a staggering 500% from the previous year. The website is now available in 8 European countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy, UK, Belgium and Austria, and the Netherlands) and the United States, in partnership with American Express. In 12 years, vente-privee.com has become an event-creating media, bringing together over 18 million members and 2.5 million unique users per day. This solid foundation allows the site to offer its 2,000 partner brands an innovative distribution channel.Jacques-Antoine Granjon’s professional success has been recognized with many awards. He was named ‘2011 Communication Personality of the Year’ by the Grand Prix des Agences de l’Année, ‘Personality of the Year’ by the Trophées LSA de l’Innovation 2011, ‘Innovator of the Year’ at the 2011 Technologies Numériques awards, ‘2011 Man of the Year’ by the Enseignes d’Or panel and ‘2010 Businessman of the Year’ by French GQ readers. Jacques-Antoine was also crowned ‘E-commerce Man of the Year’ by a panel of internet users at the E-commerce Magazine awards in 2007 then ‘Businessman of the Year’ at the BFM Awards in 2008. He also then went on to collect the European prize for ‘Chief Marketing Office of the year’, sponsored by Booz & Company, in 2009.
