This event has expired

CataloniaBio & HealthTech will hold the second edition of the Connection Day on Tuesday 7 May, at La Farga Congress, in l'Hospitalet de Llobregat. After making its debut last year, the day's programme has been extended to a full day.

The aim of this event is to be a benchmark space for B2B connections in the health sector, where the more than 225 members of the CataloniaBio & HealthTech community, as well as organisations from the ecosystem, can explore synergies and collaboration points in the products, services and solutions they offer. An exhibitors' area will be set up where organisations can promote themselves and encourage partnering with other attendees. It will be complemented by sessions to present health business initiatives and a specialised job marketplace.  The conference is aimed at all types of companies in the health sector (biotech, medtech, pharma, digital health and services), as well as knowledge generators who want to promote their technology and/or innovation.

In the context of the Connection Day, CataloniaBio & HealthTech will officially present the Investment Study in the Health Sector 2023, which the association is preparing together with the consultancy firm EY. The aim of the CataloniaBio & HealthTech Investment Study in the life and health sciences sector in Catalonia is to collect the main indicators and provide an analysis of business investment in the sector. We will share the key figures of our study and subsequently analyse the data in a round table with key players in the ecosystem.
