Cocktails and speeches were shared, where Mr. Noël and Mr. Sheldon expressed their pride and motivations for the young company. At the end of his impassioned speech, Mr. Noël invited the room to give a first blood sample to start the creation of their digital twin. More than half of the people present lined up to join the innovative project. About BioTwin BioTwin harnesses AI, biomarkers, and biometrics to create a virtual human copy.
