CataloniaBio & HealthTech carries out its activities through the Board of Directors, executive team and Workgroups made up of executives, entrepreneurs and specialists from member companies and knowledge stakeholders. 

This way, we create spaces for active participation and debate, where participants share experiences and knowledge to promote key aspects for making companies more competitive, such as innovation.

• Promote company-hospital partnership models.
