Les Deeptech, a Bpifrance platform dedicated to showcasing breakthrough innovation and the people behind it, recently highlighted Virginie Simon, president and co-founder of Beams, in a portrait titled “Virginie, d’une côte à l’autre”. The piece traces her journey — from early scientific curiosity to leading a medtech startup committed to addressing one of the most critical challenges in surgical oncology.

The profile emphasizes Virginie’s deep commitment to advancing precision medicine and her role in building a multidisciplinary team focused on developing technologies that help surgeons make better decisions in the operating room. At Beams, this mission materializes through the development of TRIOP, a miniaturized intraoperative probe that provides real-time guidance during cancer surgery, enabling surgeons to detect and remove residual tumor tissue with unprecedented accuracy.

Throughout the interview, Virginie’s path is presented as emblematic of the deeptech spirit: blending scientific rigour with clinical insight and entrepreneurial ambition. Her experience reflects the broader ecosystem that Les Deeptech seeks to amplify — one where public research, innovation funding, and startup leadership converge to tackle healthcare’s toughest problems.

For Beams, being featured by Les Deeptech represents meaningful recognition of the company’s vision and progress. It not only showcases the human story behind the technology but also underscores the importance of France’s innovation ecosystem in supporting deep scientific and clinical breakthroughs.

This profile reinforces Beams’ position in the landscape of French medtech: a startup born from scientific excellence with a clear purpose — to redefine precision in surgical oncology and improve outcomes for patients worldwide.
