The fund’s closing comes as the world begins to look towards post-pandemic life after more than 12 months in the grip of COVID-19, a crisis that has accelerated the adoption of new healthcare technologies including novel ways of delivering remote patient care. Underlying trends, such as ageing populations, chronic diseases and strained healthcare budgets will continue to fuel demand for cost-efficient solutions. Therefore, healthcare innovation is set to remain a long-term priority that is expected to generate attractive growth and a diverse set of opportunities for investors. The fund has already supported seven companies with investments totalling more than USD 100 million: IntelyCare, CeQur, Rapid Micro Biosystems, SOPHiA GENETICS, Nalu Medical, Lumeon and Relievant Medsystems.
“Governments, citizens and investors are now more aware than ever of our healthcare systems’ strategic importance and current limitations,” said Bernard Vogel, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Endeavour Vision. “This is accelerating the demand for pioneering solutions that can deliver sustainable healthcare. As such, EMG II LP’s timing could not be better. We want to thank the fund’s investors for their confidence in our team and strategy. In backing the bright future of this fast-growing, dynamic industry, our investors will also benefit from seeing the direct impact of their investments on people’s lives.”
“As a responsible investor working on behalf of UK Local Government Pension Schemes, we focus on seeking sustainable, long-term, risk-adjusted value to the pension scheme members through opportunities that provide a positive contribution to society,” said Nicholas Hinchliffe, Investment Director, Private Equity Investments, Local Pensions Partnership Investments. “Healthcare and health technology offers such an investment profile and helps diversify our client portfolios, and by investing in this vibrant sector through Endeavour Vision’s EMG II LP, we are able to access developments in ground-breaking clinical treatments.”
Endeavour Vision is one of the largest international investment teams focused on medtech and digital health. The firm partners with game-changing companies, actively supporting them beyond capital, with strategic and operational expertise to enable their global success.
“Medical technology and digital health are truly unique within the healthcare sector because they offer the opportunity to invest in companies in the early stages of commercialisation and before major value-inflection milestones, yet still at attractive valuations.” says Damien Tappy, President and Managing Partner, Endeavour Vision. “As recognised industry experts on both sides of the Atlantic, we are excited about the massive accelerated transformation of healthcare delivery over the next decade and the leading role Endeavour Vision can play in this.”

Deep underneath the city centre of Oulu, Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen’s site-specific installation The Kuutar Garden comes to life on 18 September as part of the Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture programme, featuring musical collaborations with Danny L Harle and vocalist yeule. “The Kuutar Garden evokes a new ecological reality, unrooted from our physical boundaries, into a rhythmic and ghost-like world nurtured by a moonlight illuminated botanical garden. I hope audiences feel connected to the emergence of new worlds, and the caring of overlooked plant life,” says Steensen.

New Circularity Data: Nine Out of Ten Returned Items Lose Value for Retailers10.9.2026 13:33:00 CEST | Press release
New research finds 86% of retailers have established circularity practices, yet only 9% resell more than half of returned products at full price New research from ReBound Returns and Advanced Supply Chain (ASC) has revealed a gap between retailers’ circularity ambitions and the value they are recovering from returned products. The Circularity Index, based on research among 150 senior leaders at mid-to-large UK and European retailers, found that 86% have an established approach to circularity in returns, with practices including resale, refurbishment, repair and recycling regularly used across the business. For 27%, circularity is a core part of how returns are managed. However, translating those strategies into commercial value remains difficult. On average, 12% of returned items generate no value, while only 9% of retailers resell more than half of their returned products at full price. There is also a significant opportunity still to be captured. 82% of retailers believe that up to h

The Cognition Index Research Report, launched in partnership with Philip Morris International, warns of “Cognitive Atrophy” and a growing AI trust gap in the workplace Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) and WSJ Intelligence, the in-house thought leadership consultancy for The Wall Street Journal's commercial sales organization, today unveiled The Cognition Index Research Report, a comprehensive study exploring the evolving role of human cognition in an AI-driven workplace. Surveying more than 2,500 business professionals across the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, and Brazil, the report reveals that while business professionals are increasingly optimistic about AI’s role in improving decision-making, they continue to see human judgment, ethics, critical thinking and empathy as essential capabilities that must be actively protected and developed as AI becomes embedded in workplace workflows. “Human cognition is a bit like a muscle: use it or lose it,” says M
