If you have a startup in the life sciences and healthcare arena with developed, distinguishing technology and want to raise awareness of it internationally, now is your chance to boost your visibility with your own stand at 4YFN, the essential event for connecting investors and entrepreneurs from all over the world, which is back in Barcelona from February 27 to March 2.
As part of Mobile World Congress Barcelona, 4YFN is once again putting the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Barcelona and Catalonia on the world stage for four days. There will be conferences, debates, panels with opinion leaders and startups, and networking activities.
For this upcoming edition, ACCIÓ, Biocat and the Agency for Health Quality and Assessment of Catalonia (AQuAS) are coordinating a special section for health in the Discovery zone, where companies from the BioRegion can share their solutions and network. A chance to discover other companies and forge high-impact collaborations.
