Other activities 2022

The Barcelona Healthcare Forum, organized jointly by Biocat, the Barcelona Medical Association, Barcelona Activa-Barcelona City Council and ESADE-BAN,  was once again a meeting point for the entrepreneurial ecosystem and venture capital managers specializing in health in Catalonia. 

At the 31st edition, which took place in October, 7 Catalan startups and spinoffs -Amalfi, Anais Medical, Dryox Health, Nimble Diagnostics, Point Pressure, Tailor Surgery and Pharmacelera- and Nanodecal were chosen to present their projects.

In late November, at Tech Spirit Barcelona, the benchmark event for the entrepreneurial and technology community in Barcelona, Biocat organized a session titled “Hidden tips for success in healthcare” featuring a selection of CEOs from startups that are helping scale up the life sciences and healthcare ecosystem in Barcelona, who shared their visions and perspectives on business milestones, the success/failure binomial, key career moments, business strategies and goals, and interesting confessions that marked their respective personal experiences, among others. 

Before the year came to a close, the first “Fast track program to Barcelona-Catalonia life science hub” program was held by the London office of Catalonia Trade & Investment with support and participation from Biocat. 

This program supports companies from the life sciences and healthcare sector interested in setting up in Catalonia. A total of ten companies from the sector established in the United Kingdom and Ireland presented their projects to a panel of experts to identify expansion and collaboration opportunities in the BioRegion.
