Do you speak « LallianSe » ?
A doctor doesn’t speak the same language as an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur doesn’t speak the same language as hospital management. Hospital management doesn’t speak the same language as an investor. An investor doesn’t speak the same language… you get the idea—it’s an endless loop!
And yet… talking, dialogue, and collaboration are essential for a healthcare innovation to become a reality. That is precisely where our story with the AP-HP (Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris) began in 2017, when we set up operations at the heart of the Pitié-Salpêtrière – Charles Foix University Hospitals. Over seven years of #hospitalimmersion, we gradually learned the codes, constraints, and realities—and learned to speak the languages—of the hospital ecosystem. Above all, we sparked #conversations.
These conversations paved the way for concrete initiatives: from the creation of #ASIIA (the Association of Innovative Start-ups from AP-HP) and the #BrainTale project to supporting the #OBE Foundation, as well as numerous collaborations involving doctors, paramedical staff, entrepreneurs, and other ecosystem stakeholders.
This spirit was very much present at the event “From Hospital to Start-up: Entrepreneurship for Healthcare Innovation,” held at the Sorbonne University Hospital Group (GHU). Four clinician-entrepreneurs came to share what drove them to take the leap into entrepreneurship: Pierre Mozer, Rachel Lévy, Harry Sokol, Louis PUYBASSET.
It was about translating the challenges of one “world” to make them understandable to another; enabling a clinician, an entrepreneur, an institution, or an investor to understand one another well enough to build together.
This ability to build bridges is what we have been cultivating for over a decade: creating the conditions for worlds that do not naturally speak the same language to understand each other, collaborate, and bring projects to life.
