How to turn diagnostics into pandemic risk management solutions? This question opens new opportunities for innovative business models, transforming the challenge of future pandemics into a call for action and innovation. Why ask this question ? An international study published by The Guardian in 2024 reveals that the next pandemic could likely be caused by the flu. Among 187 infectious disease specialists surveyed, 57% consider influenza the most probable threat. The World Health Organization highlights the growing risk of the H5N1 strain, responsible for avian flu, with an "extremely high mortality rate" in humans exposed to infected animals. The potential for human-to-human transmission underscores the urgency for action. At BLUMORPHO, we believe diagnostics can go beyond detection to become true pandemic risk management solutions. By fostering innovation and collaboration, we aim to reduce risks and create sustainable business models. We are proud to contribute to this mission alongside key partners such as the Institut Pasteur de Dakar, through initiatives like Holicare, addressing healthcare challenges and strengthening preparedness. #HealthInnovation #PandemicPreparedness #Diagnostics #Collaboration #InstitutPasteur 

According to the Global Maritime Forum, decarbonising the maritime industry could create up to four million green jobs by 2050. The maritime sector is responsible for 3% of global CO2 emissions according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This industry needs to transition towards new fuels and new propulsion solutions to meet the International Maritime Organization’s 2050 decarbonization goals. This transition requires an estimated $3 trillion investment to develop renewable energy capacity and infrastructure. For businesses, this means a trillion-dollar market opportunity. Beyond the environmental impact, the transition offers strong economic benefits, and the large-scale job creation will make port cities even more attractive as hubs of economic activity and innovation. Companies investing in this transformation will not only support decarbonisation but also drive global economic growth and innovation in the energy sector, making themselves the true leaders of tomorrow. #BlueEconomy #Decarbonisation #Energy #CleanEnergy #Shipping

Port cities are at the crossroads of economic growth and climate resilience.  The World Conference Cities & Ports by AIVP - Lisbon 2024 offered an inspiring platform to explore their role in the sustainable transition, for our planet and the population. I had the great pleasure of sharing BLUMORPHO's vision in a plenary session "Financing the Port City Transition". Here are some highlights from these days in Lisbon: ▪️ Coastal cities are home to 40% of the global population and generate 60% of global GDP. They are becoming innovation labs. Without adaptation measures, economic losses could reach $1 trillion annually by 2050. ▪️ The AIVP Prize Antoine Rufenacht, won by the Reconversion of Tangier City Port area (Mohamed Ouanaya), showcased a holistic rehabilitation project that managed to bring together industrial and commercial infrastructures with culture and the well-being of residents, resulting in a hub of life. ▪️ A strong moment for me was Roger Mbassa Ndine’s presentation. The Mayor of COMMUNAUTE URBAINE DE DOUALA used satellite imagery to highlight the city’s vulnerability to climate events. I'll let the data speak for itself: between 2000 and 2020, Africa suffered 1192 disaster events, with record levels of flooding in 2024. This calls for urgent and determined action. ▪️ Technology is proving to be a key enabler in this fight. Tools like digital twins, employed by the Grand Port Maritime de Bordeaux, offer solutions to integrate climate risks into territorial planning and adapt strategies in real time (Jumeaux Numériques du Fleuve) ▪️ Another challenge is energy and data. Data centers, projected by the International Energy Agency (IEA) to consume 10% of electricity by 2030, need to adapt. Some cities like Stockholm provide an interesting example by redirecting the excess heat from data centers to urban heating systems. Such innovations highlight the potential of renewable energy and heat recovery systems in creating sustainable urban ecosystems. ▪️ Of course, these transformations require significant investment. The UN estimates that $300 billion will be needed annually for climate adaptation by 2030. ▪️ True leaders are those who anticipate and disrupt markets, creating new economic models and capturing value for the long term. Happy to discuss it further on the specific case of Port Cities. Finally: a special thank you to Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D. for moderating our roundtable, and to my fellow panelists Gerardo Landaluce and Patrice VERGRIETE. Congratulations to Bruno DELSALLE, José Manuel Pagés Sánchez, and the AIVP team for their work, and to Alberto Cappato on his well-deserved nomination as Vice President of the AIVP. It was also a privilege to engage with Edouard Philippe, President of AIVP, and hear his analysis of current and upcoming challenges. With its members, AIVP is building collaboration and action. As one of them, BLUMORPHO is committed to contribute to the eco transition of port cities.
