3D printing in the field of health is a well-established and well-known tool on a global scale. It called for the adaptation of the medical community, rethinking medical protocols, and has improved the efficiency and effectiveness of treatments. On the other hand, bioprinting still raises questions, how do we define it?

What are the differences between 3D printing and bioprinting? Is it reality or fiction? What would be the model of coexistence of the two technologies? How is the Catalan ecosystem structured around 3D printing technology?

The next Lessons Learned session, on 7 October, in person and online, will bring together four entrepreneurs, experts and researchers that are currently working with these technologies to share their expertise and experiences with the participants, also looking at the future and new possible scenarios.

Welcome by Judit Anido, General Director of CataloniaBio & HealthTech.

What are Lessons Learned?
The Lessons Learned sessions, which kicked off in 2014 promoted by CataloniaBio & HealthTech, are a knowledge forum for professionals in the health and life sciences arena to share experiences and reflections with experts on various strategic areas to boost the competitiveness of companies. The Lessons Learned sessions are also a great opportunity for networking.
