Catalonia.health participates, through members of its Board of Directors, in the representative bodies of public and private institutions within the health ecosystem and is a recognised voice in the sector.
For health innovation to reach more people, the sector needs to speak with one voice.
Catalonia.health represents, defends and promotes the interests of Catalonia's health business community, with a clear goal: making health innovation accessible to all and contributing to more efficient, sustainable and equitable health systems.
We do this in three ways:
Public policy engagementWe work collaboratively and with a service-oriented approach to influence the country's strategic policies, ensuring they recognise and strengthen the economic and social value of the health sector. Our presence in decision-making spaces ensures that the voice of businesses reaches where it matters.
Co-opetitionWe drive working dynamics that combine healthy competition between companies with strategic collaboration. Because in a sector like health, growing together is the smartest way to grow.
Ecosystem activationWe organise benchmark events, training sessions and networking spaces that strengthen connections across the entire value chain: companies, institutions, investors, talent and public administration.
