Clearwater International advises the shareholders of CRP, IMACAM and I-SERIS, on their joint project to create Imaneo in association with Parquest

Clearwater International has advised the shareholders of prominent medical imaging groups CRP, IMACAM, and I-SERIS, on the collaborative project to establish Imaneo in association with Parquest, a French investment fund specialising in business development support, with extensive experience in healthcare services.

Imaneo is the result of the merger between three medical imaging groups based in Montpellier, CRP, IMACAM, and I-SERIS. This newly formed entity brings together 70 radiologists, who are all shareholders in the group. With 28 medical imaging devices, including MREs, scanners, and MRIs, Imaneo is located in 19 centres and serves over 800,000 patients annually. The group is now the leader in radiology in the Occitanie region, ranking among the top medical imaging groups in France.

Benefiting from the collective strength of the group, Imaneo's radiologists aim to accelerate their growth by sustaining the development of a medical offer of excellence, pursuing an innovation strategy for their ecosystem, and bolstering employee support through high-quality training. An experienced management team has been recruited to facilitate the operational implementation of the group.

This transaction will provide Imaneo with a new impetus for growth, leveraging Parquest's support and expertise in addressing current radiology challenges, while anticipating future ones. Together, Parquest and Imaneo aim to consolidate other radiologist structures in the future, improving the quality and accessibility of medical imaging services, throughout France.

Clearwater perfectly understood our expectations and the challenges of our operation. Their support enabled us to come up with a joint project that responds to the evolution of the radiology profession and its new challenges, which require cutting-edge equipment and major investment. At a time when the health crisis has underlined the importance of high-quality and local medicine, we are delighted to join forces with the support of Parquest, providing us with economic and managerial expertise, as well as the financial and human resources we need to achieve our ambitions.

Jérôme Bénis, Radiologist, President, Imaneo

We are very proud to have supported the radiologists in this ambitious project. Unlike other operations in the radiology sector, and in line with the wishes of project stakeholders, this has radiologists at its heart. Imaneo will embody the values of medical excellence and independence, contributing to the development of radiology in the region.
