The Barcelona Science Park (PCB), of Barcelona University, and Barcelona City Council, are launching, with the support of Barcelona Activa and the collaboration of Biocat, the BCN Health Booster, an acceleration programme to boost emerging companies with an innovative business project in the field of health.

Within the framework of this initiative, eleven innovative business projects, recently created, will have access for three years to a laboratory within a strategic hub such as the PCB and will receive free training, mentoring and advice from a team of mentors and renowned experts in different strategic areas.

This new accelerator will be open to companies with less than 5 years since their inception that develop pharmaceutical or biotechnology products, or medical devices, as well as service companies aimed at the health sector that require the use of a laboratory to carry out their activity.

The applications will be evaluated by a committee of experts according to the following criteria: technical and economic feasibility, promotion team and social impact of the entrepreneurial project, prioritising the spin-offs of public research centres, hospitals and universities.

The deadline to submit applications is September 17, 2021. For more information on the project, consult this link. Furthermore, you can consult the rules of the call and the registration process here.
