On Monday, July 4, 2022, the award ceremony for the winners of the 2021-2022 Innovation Competition was held. Under the banner of accelerating to establish France's sovereignty, the Government congratulated and highlighted the 127 winners of the 2022 edition of the "i-nov" Innovation Competition, including 20 winning projects in the healthcare theme.

The French government has made it a priority to make France a leader in digital healthcare, and thus launched as part of France 2030, the "Digital Health" acceleration strategy" last October and endowed with 670 million euros. This strategy is the fruit of a synergy between various government plans put in place to anticipate the future and consolidate a fast-growing industry.

In order to energize and support the maturation of innovations in France, three actions of the strategy take concrete form through the "innovation competition - i-Nov" window:
