InfinyTech3D chooses Lyon to accelerate the development of its immersive healthcare technologies

A cutting-edge startup at the crossroads of virtual reality, medical simulation, and digital twins

InfinyTech3D is an innovative startup specializing in hyper-realistic physical simulation and immersive technologies applied to healthcare. The company develops virtual reality simulators and digital twins of organs designed for training and surgical planning, primarily for surgeons and healthcare professionals.

Its solutions are built on the open-source SOFA Framework simulation engine, internationally recognized in the field of biomechanical modeling, as well as haptic devices that faithfully reproduce the sense of touch and tissue resistance. This advanced technological approach makes it possible to accurately replicate medical procedures in interactive and immersive virtual environments.

A clear objective: strengthening training, planning, and patient safety

Through its simulators and digital twins, InfinyTech3D aims to transform training practices and the preparation of medical procedures. The challenge is twofold: improving the learning of complex technical skills and enabling the planning of interventions based on realistic digital models to enhance patient safety. This allows professionals to train and prepare in conditions close to real life, without risk.

These tools rise to challenges in today’s healthcare sector, where digital innovation plays a key role in skills development, practice assessment, and the dissemination of medical expertise.

A strategic choice: relocating the headquarters to Lyon in 2025

In 2025, InfinyTech3D made the strategic decision to relocate its headquarters from Sophia Antipolis to Lyon. This relocation underscores the company’s commitment to positioning itself within an ecosystem renowned for excellence in healthcare, research, and innovation.

The Lyon metropolitan area has a strong position in life sciences, with a unique concentration of hospital, academic, industrial, and institutional stakeholders. This environment is particularly well suited to the development of innovative solutions in medtech, e-health, and deeptech.

Support from ONLYLYON Invest to ensure a successful establishment

As part of this relocation, InfinyTech3D received support from ONLYLYON Invest, the Lyon region’s economic attractiveness agency.

This support included in particular:

• Assistance in finding office space, with a location within the life sciences business center operated by SEM-Pat Laënnec, an emblematic site dedicated to healthcare players;
• Connections with key partners, including the Innovation Department of the Hospices Civils de Lyon (HCL) and the Everest IHU specialized in hepatology, with a view to future collaborations;
• Integration into the regional ecosystem, notably through the Lyonbiopôle Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes competitiveness cluster, a structuring player in healthcare innovation.

Lyon, a natural home for digital health innovation

InfinyTech3D’s arrival in Lyon once again highlights the region’s attractiveness for startups developing breakthrough healthcare technologies. By combining medical excellence, high-level academic research, and strong support for innovative projects, the Lyon metropolitan area reinforces its role as a major hub for healthtech companies and virtual reality applied to medicine.
