INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Discussing the future of DreamPore at the Élysée
On 23 July 2026, Benjamin Cressiot and Pierre Defrenaix, from Excilone, met at the Palais de l’Élysée to discuss the future of DreamPore, a startup hosted at CY Cergy Paris Université in which Benjamin Cressiot also contributes scientifically.
The discussion focused on nanopore-based biomarker diagnostics, technology transfer and the development of French technological sovereignty in molecular analysis.
Intellectual property: nanopore-related technology transfer includes patent EP3270139B9. This research-to-innovation pathway complements fundamental investigations in molecular sensing.
