comunicacio@cataloniabioht.org,

CataloniaBio & HealthTech would like to express its thanks and support for all healthcare professionals (including our member centres, Hospital Clinic Barcelona, Hospital de Sant Pau, Germans Triasi Pujol Hospital and Hospital Valld’Hebron), as well as the start-ups and companies for their donations, for continuing to produce essential products and medications and for providing innovative solutions to tackle the situation caused by Covid-19.

We’re compiled some actions that may be of interest to the companies and organisations in the ecosystem:

Virtual marketplace of companies

Under the framework of the collaboration between CataloniaBioHT and ACCIÓ, a virtual marketplace has been created to compile companies offering technology, healthcare materials or production capacity for the fight against Covid-19, and allow them to contact each other. 

Donating material

If you would like to donate healthcare materials (masks, gowns, gloves, respirators, etc.) through the Catalan Ministry of Health, fill in this form.

Special grants
