Lichen Health Genesis
«The lichen is the company’s promise:
Growing startups in symbiosis with their environment»
Lichen Health is the synthesis between two of my interests, medicine and nature preservation. I chose the lichen to embody my society because it is a symbiosis between an algae and a fungus.
This symbiosis is at the heart of my project to grow health innovation projects in symbiosis with their environment.
Lichen is also a biomarker of forest health and air quality. Finally, from a more personal point of view, the lichen is a strong image of my childhood spent in the heart of the forests in Auvergne.
