CataloniaBio & HealthTech is the organisation that represents companies in the biomedicine and health sector in Catalonia. It strives to defend and promote the interests of the business fabric in the sector; boost the competitiveness and size of companies so they can generate new products and services to make people healthier; create value in the sector by promoting innovation, entrepreneurship and the network, and position Catalonia as one of the top health hubs in the world.
