From the start, it has combined production of devices for leading pharmaceutical players—generating a stream of recurring income—with active R&D in medical devices, in particular seal and reconstitution systems. At the instigation of founder Jacques Gardette, Biocorp acquired a software/data encryption and management business in 2013 to develop the very first connected injection systems. Its first product is DataPen, the first smart injector pen connected to the internet, whose prime market is the treatment of diabetes.

Biocorp (ticker code: ALCOR) was listed through the admission to trading on 10 July 2015 of the 2,957,867 ordinaryshares making up its equity, including 957,867new shares issued through a Global Offering.

Jacques Gardette, Biocorp’s founder, chairman & CEO, said:“Our successful listing gives us the resources we need to deploy our strategy quickly and achieve several critical milestones, including new contracts, expansion on international markets and a ramp-up of production capacity. Listing will also raise our profile and facilitate agreements with international partners. I would like to thank all of our employees and partners, along with our new shareholders, for their confidence.”

Eric Forest, CEO of EnterNext, said: “We are delighted to welcome Biocorp, a medtech company based in Auvergne, as it lists on Alternext. EnterNext has helped many medtech businesses secure the funding they need through financial markets to accelerate their business development.
