PINN, a consultancy specialized in strategy and innovation, has joined the Tech Barcelona association as a Corporate Partner to foster collaboration within the ecosystem and promote the development of projects in the health sector.

Founded in Barcelona in 2021, PINN will support Tech Barcelona in identifying, analyzing, and developing initiatives related to innovation and health technologies—a sector that in Catalonia brings together 1,650 companies and 94 research institutions. The initiative aims to integrate all ecosystem stakeholders to build a shared vision around key challenges and address them through a systemic approach that enables the activation of the best solutions.

Within this framework, a working group has been established, bringing together representatives from the public sector, hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, startups, associations and professional bodies, universities, business schools, and key figures from the healthcare field. PINN and Tech Barcelona will create a permanent space for dialogue and collaboration, facilitating interaction among stakeholders and helping identify growth opportunities and new solutions.

According to Juan Varela and Carles Mur, founding partners of PINN, “this alliance represents a key opportunity to consolidate a strong and cohesive ecosystem, ready to collaborate strategically in addressing the sector’s major challenges through true innovation processes.”

According to Miquel Martí, CEO of Tech Barcelona, “the agreement with PINN and the creation of this working group respond to a clear trend in the development of the health ecosystem: collaboration among all stakeholders can generate very positive open innovation dynamics, accelerate the integration of new technologies into the healthcare system, and ultimately have a positive impact on citizens’ lives.”

With this initiative, Barcelona strengthens its ambition to position itself as an international benchmark in health innovation.
