The EIB is pleased to support the next development phase of Lyon-based EDAP and its innovative robotic HIFU platform designed to treat prostate cancer and endometriosis with non-invasive solutions.”

The partnership reflects EDAP’s long-term commitment to advancing robotic HIFU technology and strengthening its leadership in therapeutic innovation across urological, gynecological, and other medical applications.

Under the agreement, the €36 million Credit Facility will be made available in three tranches based on specific milestones:

  • Tranche A: €11 million at an interest rate of 8%
  • Tranche B: €12 million at an interest rate of 7%

Each tranche will mature five years from its disbursement date, with the EIB also receiving warrants allowing subscription to the company’s most preferential class of shares. Full details of the facility terms are available in EDAP’s latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The collaboration with the EIB marks a key step in EDAP’s mission to transform the future of minimally invasive healthcare while expanding its impact in global medical markets.
