Inovie

Inovie Group is a major French medical diagnostics company established in 2010. Initially founded as Labosud by a group of independent medical biologists in Montpellier, the company aimed to develop medical biology to improve patient care. The group rebranded as Inovie in 2017 to support a national development strategy after a period of significant growth through acquisitions.

The company operates as a key player in the private medical biology sector in France, accounting for approximately 20% of the market. Its business model is centered on a network of local laboratories combined with high-performance technical platforms, serving over 100,000 patients daily across more than 650 sites. Inovie provides diagnostic services to a diverse client base, including general and specialist physicians, dental surgeons, and over 1,500 healthcare facilities. The company has expanded its operations internationally, with laboratories in Lebanon, Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, and Cameroon.

Inovie's service portfolio is structured around several areas of expertise: human medical biology, veterinary biology (Inovie VET), anatomic pathology for cancer cell analysis (Inopath), genomics and molecular biology (Imagenome), specialized analyses (Inovie AS), and fertility diagnostics and treatment (Inovie Fertilité). This comprehensive offering allows the company to cover a wide spectrum of diagnostic needs. The business has grown through numerous acquisitions, including the notable takeovers of Biofutur and Bioclinic, which strengthened its presence in the Greater Paris area. Private equity firm Ardian acquired a minority stake in 2020, providing financial backing to accelerate the group's development and modernization, including a significant push toward digitalization to enhance patient services and operational efficiency.
