Ikonisys Announces a Partnership Between Hospitex International and the Pathologists Beyond Borders Association

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Ikonisys SA (Euronext Growth Paris: ALIKO), a company specializing in the early and accurate detection of cancers through a unique, fully automated solution for medical analysis laboratories, today announced the partnership between Hospitex International, world leader in thin layer cytology and cancer diagnostics, and the Pathologists Beyond Borders Association (APOF: Associazione Patologi Oltre Frontiera). This partnership represents a significant step forward in the fight against cancer and aims to support the development of early cancer diagnosis in developing countries alongside a player that has been active in the field of anatomical pathology for over 20 years.

For several years now, Hospitex International has been working alongside APOF on various international initiatives. In continuation of their successful collaboration, Hospitex International is now intensifying its commitment to enhancing APOF's capabilities by supporting the association in the implementation of its international projects.

As part of this partnership, the two entities will share their technical and scientific expertise in order to design systems and solutions that are easily deployable and scalable, while being compatible with the specific characteristics of developing countries.

Paolo Giovenali, President of APOF, and Francesco Trisolini, CEO at Hospitex state: "Our mission is to save human lives through early oncology diagnosis. APOF as a non-profit association of doctors and Hospitex as a developer and supplier of innovative diagnostic solutions. We have joined forces to create a new model that is effective and applicable in countries lacking both medical skills and anatomical pathology facilities. Much remains to be done, but the synergy of research & development and medicine can make real impact on the lives of many people living in the most disadvantaged countries."

The two entities are already working on the first model, within the framework of concrete projects, which will see the light of day in the coming months.
