CataloniaBio & HealthTech ha lliurat el Premi Bioèxit 2023 a SpliceBio i Avinent Implant System per les fites assolides durant el 2022 en l’àmbit de la salut i les ciències de la vida a Catalunya. L’acte d’entrega s’ha celebrat en el marc de la Nit de CataloniaBio & HealthTech al CaixaForum Barcelona, al qual hi han assistit més de 340 persones, entre autoritats d’administracions públiques internacionals, estatals i catalanes, i membres de l’associació, emprenedors, executius i inversors del sector.
Enguany el jurat ha volgut concedir el premi Bioèxit a dues empreses, “com a indicador de l’avenç en la maduresa del sector en innovació i en estructura del teixit empresarial”. Així ho ha exposat Mariona Serra, vicepresidenta de CataloniaBio & HealtTech, en la presentació del premi.
En el cas d’SpliceBio, el jurat ha valorat especialment la capacitat de captació de fons internacionals i nacionals. L’any 2022, la biotecnològica va aixecar una Series A de 50M€, la més gran per una empresa biotecnològica a Catalunya i a l’estat fins al moment, que els permetrà continuar desenvolupant els seus programes de teràpia gènica per al tractament de malalties minoritàries. La ronda va comptar amb la participació d’un potent sindicat internacional incloent New Enterprise Associates (EEUU), Novartis Venture Fund (Suïssa), Gilde Healthcare (Països Baixos) i Asabys (Espanya). Per la qualitat dels inversors participants, la fita d’SpliceBio ho és també pel sector ja que els obre una porta al coneixement del teixit empresarial català.
SpliceBio és una empresa biotecnològica spinout de la Universitat de Princeton (Estats Units), que l’equip fundador va decidir fundar i instal·lar a Barcelona. Miquel Vila i Perelló, el seu CEO, ha recollit el premi en nom de tot l’equip.
Avinent Implant Systems ha estat també reconeguda amb el premi Bioèxit 2023. Durant l’any 2022 l’empresa ha estrenat una nova seu corporativa. Amb una inversió de més de 10 milions d’euros, l’Avinent Hub està configurat d’amplis espais que fomenten la inspiració, la creativitat i la recerca, alhora que permeten el desenvolupament de nous projectes; posant a disposició de la salut la tecnologia més avançada i els processos més innovadors. En aquest sentit, l’any 2022 Avinent han llançar dues noves línies de negoci, que s’incorporen a les ja existents: Avinent Orthodontics, dins del sector dental, i Avinent Insoles, que suposa l’entrada al sector podològic.
El grup Avinent ha tancat l’exercici 2022 amb una facturació superior als 35 milions d’euros, amb presència a més de 26 països i amb un equip de més de 300 persones. Albert Giralt, el seu CEO, ha recollit el premi.
