G_NIUS stands for Guichet national de l’innovation et des usages en santé (National Health Innovation and Usage Hub). It is the leading public platform dedicated to digital health innovation in France.

Its mission is simple: to facilitate the creation and development of digital health projects.

In an ecosystem with numerous players, multiple systems, and demanding regulations, G_NIUS acts as a national entry point. It is a one-stop shop to help innovators understand where they stand and, above all, where to start.

Why was G_NIUS created?

Innovation in digital health is evolving rapidly. Very rapidly.
Between new regulations, national strategies, public aid, regional mechanisms, banks, calls for projects, agencies, and more, it is easy to get lost.

G_NIUS was created to meet a clear need:

• To make the ecosystem more transparent
• Centralize useful information
• Facilitate access to existing aid and services
• Save project leaders time

The platform is free, national, and accessible to all digital health stakeholders: start-ups, healthcare institutions, professionals, manufacturers, developers of new solutions, regional stakeholders, etc.

What can you find on the platform?

G_NIUS is not just an information site. It is a strategic entry point for structuring your project.

In particular, it includes:

• A map of the support available in France (national, European, and regional)
• Information on financing: grants, calls for projects, public programs, banking or investment solutions
• Regulatory resources related to digital health
• Analysis of major national strategies
• A spotlight on key players in the sector
• News and events related to innovation in healthcare

Whether you are in the start-up phase or already in the deployment phase, G_NIUS helps you identify the right resources at the right time.

Who is G_NIUS for?

The platform is aimed at all digital health innovators,
regardless of how far along their project is. The goal is to give everyone a better understanding of the national health innovation ecosystem.

What types of innovations are covered?

G_NIUS covers the entire field of digital health:

• Digital medical devices
• Artificial intelligence in healthcare
• Telehealth
• Data platforms
• Digital tools for professionals
• Digital services for patients
• Solutions deployed in the regions

Innovation can be technological, organizational, or usage-related. What matters is its impact on the healthcare system.

What G_NIUS is (and is not)

✅ G_NIUS is:

• A national hub for digital health innovation
• An entry point into the French ecosystem
• A platform for centralizing strategic information
• A facilitator of access to existing aid and mechanisms

❌ G_NIUS is not:

• An incubator
• A direct financier

Its purpose is not to provide operational support for each project, but to effectively guide them towards the right programs and the right people.
