PolyPhotonix Limited Announces Strategic Alliance with Prevail InfoWorks, Inc. and Prevail Partners, LLC
PolyPhotonix Limited, developer of a patented noninvasive treatment for diabetic retinopathy, entered a global strategic alliance with Prevail InfoWorks, Inc. (“InfoWorks”) to lead management of FDA regulated human clinical trials of PolyPhotonix’s Noctura 400 Sleep Mask.
The Noctura 400 Sleep Mask has the potential to treat and prevent diabetic retinopathy, a condition of diabetic patients that can lead to blindness. Diabetic retinopathy represents a significant burden of disease for both patients and healthcare systems globally and is a significant cause of blindness in the working age population.
InfoWorks will deploy its patented capabilities and technology for achieving the highest quality data in the shortest possible time during clinical trials. In addition, Prevail Partners, LLC, an affiliate of InfoWorks, has agreed to invest significantly in PolyPhotonix upon the commencement of the FDA clinical trial as lead investor in a Series A investment round. Current investors include the UK Future Fund and Revere Capital Advisors LLC.
PolyPhotonix’s relationship with InfoWorks, assisted by the commitment of Prevail Partners, will expedite the progression of its FDA trial for the Noctura 400 Sleep Mask. PolyPhotonix, InfoWorks and Prevail Partners anticipate that this relationship will benefit the advancement of other indications from PolyPhotonix’s biotechnology pipeline.

CPI has developed a specialist offering to support SMEs looking to develop their printable electronics applications and our partnership with Business Durham has been instrumental in attracting several SMEs to locate here in the region.
It fits perfectly for us that we’re surrounded by like-minded companies at NETPark. There are a number of highly skilled people in the area who can help us grow our business. The facilities and services offered by NETPark are first class, they make office life simple and engaging.
We initially came because of the printable electronics centre but access to a highly skilled semi conductor workforce in the North East has been a key factor in us staying and growing here, as well as the value for money office space and the access to funding.
Access to quality facilities was one of the main drivers for deciding to locate the business at the NETPark. We have been able to use this as a launch pad to link into support from CPI and world-class expertise from Durham University.
The proximity to the universities and the infrastructure are very important factors. Ultimately having a presence in Europe is very valuable to us and we intend to stay at NETPark for many years to come.
The quality of the facilities at NETPark and the attitude of staff is first class. It has a really dynamic, innovative atmosphere.
