International visibility

In 2018, Biocat participated in partnering events at various international fairs to raise visibility of companies and research organizations from the Catalan healthcare and life sciences sector and to pitch the ecosystem’s potential to international investors and companies. One of these was BIO Europe, which took place in November 2018 in Copenhagen (Denmark), and the BIO International Convention, the most important biotechnology event in the world, which was held in Boston in June. The Catalan delegation, with 38 companies, was handled through ICEX and Biocat acted as a facilitator.

Also, the second edition of MedFIT took place in Strasbourg (France) in June. Biocat was there, represented by Raquel Riera, Director of Moebio, who gave a talk on challenges in medical technology and strategies to boost innovation.
