Cisteo Medical supports medtech start-ups in Belgium with Cisteo MEDICAL Belgium

We chose Charleroi and the Biopark to create this new entity in order to be alongside Belgian medical device manufacturers and contribute to the local medtech ecosystem, particularly start-ups. The opening of this Belgian subsidiary, actively supported by Sambrinvest and the SPW-EER, is the logical consequence of an intensification of Cisteo Medical's Belgian dealflow in recent years and an increased demand from medtech start-ups to benefit from such expertise.

Established in the cradle of microtechnology in Besançon (France), Cisteo MEDICAL has developed its skills around highly critical medical devices. "Historically, this microtechnology expertise comes to us from watchmaking, we wanted to put it at the service of medical innovation." explains Christophe Moureaux, founding president of Cisteo MEDICAL. Combining electronic, software and mechanical skills, the company brings its know-how to the development of active implantable medical devices, implants, instrumentation and surgical robotics as well as electromedical devices. For several years, Cisteo MEDICAL has established strong partnerships with these Belgian customers, in particular with Synergia Medical, a pioneer in optoelectronics, for whom Cisteo carries out the industrialization and production of their neurostimulation device. "Having reached a certain stage of design, we were looking for a partner for the industrialization of our device. Cisteo MEDICAL was able to respond and adapt to our request, which is why we began our Franco-Belgian collaboration," explains Attila Borbath, CEO of Synergia Medical. "It is in this spirit of innovation and partnership that Cisteo MEDICAL Belgium was created, in order to put our microtechnical and mechatronic skills at the service of the Belgian ecosystem." emphasizes Christophe Moureaux.
