Jacques Prost: Supporting Innovation to Transform Healthcare
As a partner of the Paris Brain Institute’s NeurAL philanthropic fund, Indosuez Wealth Management supports the growth of start-ups in the field of neuroscience. CEO Jacques Prost explains the reasons behind this commitment to scientific innovation for the benefit of patients.
Why is Indosuez committed to NeurAL?
For 150 years, Indosuez has supported entrepreneurs, families, and business leaders who build and pioneer long-term solutions. This entrepreneurial culture is part of our DNA: understanding and supporting ambitions throughout life, sometimes spanning multiple generations. Through our Startup Connexion ecosystem, backed by Villages by CA, we facilitate connections between entrepreneurs, investors, and experts to promote projects with significant social and environmental impact. Supporting NeurAL is a natural extension of this approach.
What convinced you to support the Paris Brain Institute?
The figures – one in three people in Europe will be affected by a brain disease – the projects being pursued, and also meeting with the Paris Brain Institute’s teams were decisive factors. NeurAL acts as a true bridge between the laboratory and the market, enabling researchers to transform their work into viable businesses.
