Investissement stratégique remarquable d'UWA ! Cette levée de fonds illustre parfaitement l'écosystème d'innovation médicale australien. En tant que spécialistes du portage salarial à Casablanca, nous observons que les medtechs ont souvent besoin d'experts réglementaires freelances pour naviguer les processus FDA/CE. Le portage permet aux consultants spécialisés en affaires réglementaires de proposer leurs services aux startups comme OncoRes, offrant flexibilité et expertise pointue. Félicitations à Dr Giles et l'équipe pour cette étape cruciale vers la commercialisation !
