Pier07, the new health and life sciences hub of Tech Barcelona

Miquel Martí, CEO of Tech Barcelona, explains how health and life sciences have become a strategic sector for the country. "Currently, we have a mature ecosystem capable of mobilising from research and development to science parks, universities, hospitals, corporations and even the public system. Creating a new Pier, Pier07, with a focus on the health sector and integrated into the Urban Tech Campus project, is a logical step in the association's strategy to bring technology and solutions with the Barcelona brand to where people live. Apart from having a magnificent space, the content has to be the protagonist. We hope that not only the organisations located at the Pier07, but also all the stakeholders of the health system and other related industries, will take advantage of our spaces to collaborate transversally in the search for solutions to the main challenges to improve people's health".
