CataloniaBio & HealthTech and the Massachusetts Medical Device Industry Council (MassMEDIC), the largest association of medical technology companies in the United States, have signed an agreement to foster innovation and collaborations in business and research among their members. The agreement was signed at the highly successful European investment congress Bio€quity, held in Barcelona on 20 and 21 May.
Angel Alonso, vice-president of CataloniaBioHT and CEO of Vecmedical, explained that this agreement will “strengthen institutional ties and provide a good opportunity to bring the innovative companies of CataloniaBioHT to the world’s top biomedical ecosystem.”
For his part, MassMEDIC President Bryan Johnson says “We are thrilled to continue the important work of building bridges with our international counterparts across the globe. Our agreement with CataloniaBioHT is the beginning of a critical relationship for our shared ecosystems. Much like Massachusetts, the Catalonia region has a rich history of medical advancements and healthcare institutions that are a model for the rest of the world.”
After formalising the agreement, CataloniaBioHT and MassMEDIC will begin working together on several actions. CataloniaBioHT will do so through its Internationalisation Workgroup, which was launched recently.
CataloniaBioHT is part of the Catalonia Clusters programme promoted by the Government of Catalonia through ACCIÓ.
