  • Berlin Heals adds MedTech Veteran Dr. Eric Fain to Board of Directors
  • Dr. Fain brings over 35 years of strategic and start-up expertise
  • Extensive experience in the Cardiovascular space particularly in active implants
  • Led multiple successful financings and exits on both the strategic and start-up sides

ZUG, Switzerland, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Berlin Heals Holding AG, a leading clinical-stage medical device company focused on revolutionizing the treatment of chronic heart failure, today announced the addition of Dr. Eric S. Fain to its Board of Directors. Building on the success of past years of development and using a unique device-based therapy with the potential to significantly reverse declining cardiac function, Berlin Heals is now implementing a less invasive design that will greatly expand the targeted patient population. Dr. Fain’s extensive experience in both the heart failure and electrophysiology space is a perfect match for this new phase of the company.

 

Dr. Eric Fain commented: “Developing technology to treat heart failure is a true passion of mine and so I am honored to join Berlin Heals at such a pivotal moment in the company’s development and strategic planning. C-MIC technology has the potential to be a true breakthrough in the treatment of these difficult to manage patients and to greatly improve patient outcomes and quality of life across the broad spectrum of chronic heart failure.”

Dr. Fain is a physician and medtech executive with over 35 years of experience in the global cardiovascular industry. He previously was Group President at St. Jude Medical and Abbott, where he led global operations in research, development, and commercialization of implantable cardiac devices. He currently serves as President and CEO of Procyrion, Inc., and sits on the boards of several other medical device companies.

Roland Diggelmann, member of the Board remarked: “I am deeply impressed by his broad experience and profound expertise in both the clinical and commercial aspects of cardiovascular innovation. His proven track record in developing and bringing transformative technologies to market, combined with his personal drive and integrity, will make him an exceptional addition to the Berlin Heals team as we enter our next phase of growth.”

Marko Bagaric, member of the Board and Co-Founder of Berlin Heals, added: “We are delighted to welcome Dr. Fain to our Board of Directors. His extensive experience in cardiovascular device innovation and commercialization will be of tremendous value as we continue to advance our C-MIC technology toward market introduction. As we begin planning for U.S. clinical studies and eventual submission for FDA approval, Dr. Fain’s strategic insight and proven leadership will strengthen Berlin Heals’ mission to bring this groundbreaking therapy to patients suffering from heart failure worldwide.”

About C-MIC Therapy
Cardiac Microcurrent (C-MIC) Therapy is delivered via a fully implantable medical device that consists of two electrodes connected to an implantable generator that provides constant direct microcurrent across the diseased heart. This constant DC current reduces inflammation and reverse remodels the heart that has been shown in previous studies to improve cardiac function and reduce symptoms. The first generation required a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a cardiothoracic surgeon placed an electrode on the outside of the heart. The new less invasive approach can be performed in a cardiac catheterization lab allowing patients to be discharged from hospital on the same day. This new approach is very similar to other procedures performed by implanting cardiologists and also greatly expands the number of heart failure patients who may benefit from C-MIC therapy.

About Heart Failure
Heart Failure is a condition where the heart is weakened and cannot meet the body’s demand for blood flow. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue and palpitations limiting ability to perform daily activities. The progressive disease leads to high frequency of hospital admissions, poor clinical outcomes and high cost of care. Heart Failure is a Global Pandemic that affects over 64 Million people around the world. In the western world, 1 in 4 people will develop the disease in their lifetime. The Global cost of Heart Failure care is $287 billion annually. The disease is a leading cause of death with worse mortality than cancer. There is currently no commercially available cure.

About Berlin Heals Holding AG
Berlin Heals Holding AG is developing a novel treatment to reverse remodel and recover from Heart Failure. After a successful First-In-Human study in 2019 followed by sustaining long-term results and a successful Randomized Controlled Trial completed in 2024, the company has been developing a new approach to implant the device less invasively as an outpatient cardiac cath lab procedure. The company is based in Zug, Switzerland with subsidiaries in Germany and the United States.

Laos exported a total of 3,810 tons of agricultural products through the Thabok-Thanaleng International Border Crossing in September, generating over USD 1.8 million in revenue.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment report on 21 October, major exports included cassava flour, rubber, bananas, fertilizer, furniture wood, and dried mushrooms, reaching three international markets. 

China received the largest share, including 2,061 tons of cassava flour worth USD 916,997, 1,356 tons of rubber worth USD 2,343,873, banana worth USD 891,261 with 1,747 tons, and 660 tons of fertilizer worth USD 215,160.

Exports to Spain included 50 tons of furniture wood valued at USD 8,659 and 10 tons of styrax acuminatus pohl worth USD 110,000. Meanwhile, the Republic of Korea imported two tons of dried lacquered racket valued at USD 2,673.

Thanaleng Dry Port (TDP) is playing a significant role in the new ASEAN Express international freight train network, connecting Laos, China, Thailand, and Malaysia. 

The export growth aligns with Laos’ broader efforts to improve regional logistics.

Laos-Malaysia Corridor Boosts Trade Efficiency

In May, Laos and Malaysia inaugurated a new trade corridor linking TDP to Malaysia’s Penang Port, the corridor connecting the Lao-China Railway directly to the sea. 

This provides faster, more cost-effective cargo transport and access to major markets in India and Africa.

The corridor builds on a previous Perlis-Vientiane link, enhancing trade efficiency and opportunities for Lao businesses.

The first trial run began on 27 June, linking Malaysia to Songkhla in Thailand and China. Thanaleng serves as a key transfer hub, converting freight from Thailand’s 1-meter-wide rails to Laos’ 1,435-meter-wide rails, a process taking about two hours. 

The railway cuts transportation time from three weeks to nine days and reduces costs by over 30 percent, boosting trade competitiveness. 

Rhenus Group Selected by Correios as the Global Logistics Service Provider for COP 30

Together with Correios, Rhenus is supporting the international logistics of United Nations cargo for the COP 30 Climate Conference in Belém, Brazil.


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 October 2025 – The Rhenus Group has been nominated by Correios as the Global Logistics Service Provider for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 30). In partnership with the state-owned company, designated as the Strategic Logistics Operator for the event, Rhenus will manage the international transport of the United Nations cargo to the climate conference, which will take place from November 10 – 21 this year in Belém, Brazil.

The partnership with Correios will leverage Rhenus’ international freight forwarding capabilities to ensure the secure and timely delivery of critical shipments for one of the world’s most significant climate events. With operations in over 70 countries, Rhenus is leveraging its global logistics expertise to support the successful execution of the COP 30 event.

Upon arrival, the cargo will be processed under a temporary admission regime. Rhenus will also oversee the re-export of the cargo back to Frankfurt (FRA), ensuring its final delivery to Bonn.

“Partnering with Correios to support COP 30 underscores our commitment to responsible logistics and global collaboration – for the benefit of future generations,” said Tobias Bartz, CEO of the Rhenus Group. “Brazil is one of our key global hubs for supply chain operations and an essential center for our activities across the LATAM region, supported by our highly skilled local teams. With a strong international network and deep regional expertise, we are well positioned to strengthen supply chains throughout Brazil and Latin America. Our participation builds on our extensive experience, including serving as the official logistics sponsor for COP 29 last year. We look forward to contributing to the success of COP 30 and advancing the transition to more sustainable logistics worldwide.”

Rhenus has a proven track record in supporting major international events of various industries. Last year, the global logistics service provider demonstrated its capabilities as the Official Logistics Partner for COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan and supported the Belgian Olympic team at the Summer Games in Paris, managing infrastructure and equipment logistics across multiple venues. Rhenus also provided logistics support for a global customer during the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics, and recently has been appointed the official freight forwarder for major trade shows at Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Centre, one of Saudi Arabia’s leading venues for international trade shows.

Rhenus is driving sustainable innovation across the logistics industry by integrating alternative drive systems, promoting intermodal transport, and offering smart technologies that reduce emissions across air, sea, and land. Solutions like RheGreen, an air freight service, avoid up to 40% of CO₂ emissions by selecting the most efficient aircraft. Rhenus is setting new benchmarks for low-emissions logistics. Its digital tools, such as Emissions Dashboard, offer customers clear visibility into the carbon performance of their shipments, while the Transport Mode Optimizer enables them to make environmentally responsible choices by selecting transport modes with lower emissions.

In line with its corporate commitment to achieving a Net-zero target by 2045 through low-carbon solutions, Rhenus has set a goal to reduce emissions and actively support its customers in making responsible logistics decisions. To this end, and as part of its contribution to the goals of COP, Rhenus is providing a detailed report of its emissions once the operation has been completed, facilitating the control of their carbon footprint, promoting transparency, and strengthening the planning of conscious logistics aligned with global sustainability standards.
