Catalonia.health is a cluster representing companies and institutions across the entire health and life sciences value chain in Catalonia.
The association works to develop a strategic plan built on 3 core pillars:
- Fostering the health ecosystem.
- Driving competitiveness through innovation.
- Being the voice of the sector with a medium and long-term vision.
Founded in 2006 on the initiative of several sector entrepreneurs, Catalonia.health brings together more than 230 companies and knowledge agents leading in R&D, industrialisation and management in the health sector. Its purpose is to strengthen the competitiveness of companies driving new healthcare solutions through knowledge and experience exchange, fostering both competition and cooperation among its members, and anticipating future opportunities to generate new business models.
One of the organisation's key strengths is its cross-sector reach, enabling future synergies between startups and product-developing companies (biopharmaceutical, medical technologies and digital health), service companies (scientific and non-scientific), investors, research centres and hospitals.
Accredited as a cluster by the Catalunya Clústers programme (ACCIÓ) and as an Innovative Business Grouping by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, Catalonia.health is a member of the Alianza de Clústeres Españoles de Salud y Biociencias (ACESABIO), the European Health Connected Alliance (ECHAlliance) and the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP).
