Professionals from leading companies in the Life Sciences sector came together for a new edition of Ambit Meets: Tech Trends & Compliance in Life Science, the annual event organized by Ambit Iberia to share experiences, analyze trends, and discuss the challenges that will shape the future of the industry.

The event brought together key stakeholders from different departments at a particularly significant moment for the sector. Digital transformation, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the evolution of the European regulatory framework were at the center of many discussions, with a common goal: understanding how to innovate while maintaining the levels of quality, traceability, and compliance required by the industry.

Throughout the event, the strategic importance of the pharmaceutical sector was highlighted as one of the main drivers of industry and innovation in Spain and Europe, as well as the need to attract and develop talent capable of leading the next stage of technological transformation.

One of the highlights of the day was the panel discussion “Operational Challenges and Scaling in the Pharma Industry”, featuring Juan Ignacio Alonso from Andersen, Jorge Castro from Applus+ Laboratories, Amaia Eguiazabal from EasyVista, Gerardo Barbosa from Multiplica, Marc Ramoneda from Appliant, and Unai Sancho from Agilent Technologies. The panelists shared insights on business growth, process digitalization, operational efficiency, and change management in organizations that must balance innovation with regulatory demands.

A practical perspective was provided by Cinfa, which presented a real-world case focused on the automation of its production plant in Pamplona. The company shared its experience implementing new industrial technologies, the challenges encountered during the process, and the impact automation is having on the plant’s efficiency and production capacity.

Artificial intelligence also played a leading role throughout the event. The panel discussion “AI in Healthcare & Pharma: From Potential to Regulatory Control” brought together Alfred Opisso from Roche, Francesc Paradell from Meribel Pharma, Christian Gay from Aizon, and Oriol Valls from Merck. The discussion explored both the opportunities AI offers to accelerate processes and improve decision-making, as well as the challenges associated with model validation, data governance, human oversight, and compliance with the new regulatory requirements currently being developed in Europe.

In addition to the panel discussions, attendees took part in a collaborative workshop where they shared the priorities, barriers, and expectations that currently exist within their organizations regarding digital transformation. The goal was to build a collective and realistic view of the sector’s current state, identifying both the initiatives that generate the greatest consensus and the areas that continue to present significant challenges.

A common theme emerged throughout the day: technology will continue to play a fundamental role in the evolution of the pharmaceutical industry, but its success will depend on organizations’ ability to integrate it responsibly, securely, and in alignment with the quality principles that define the sector.

At Ambit Iberia, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the people and organizations who made this edition of Ambit Meets possible.

We would especially like to thank the event sponsors, Spertoo and ValGenesis, for their trust and support, which are essential to continuing to foster our space for networking, learning, and collaboration within the Life Sciences ecosystem.

We would also like to thank all the speakers and participants who shared their expertise and knowledge throughout the event. Their contributions enriched the discussions and helped provide a diverse perspective on the challenges and opportunities currently facing the sector.

A special acknowledgment goes to Cinfa for sharing its experience and presenting attendees with a real-world example of industrial transformation.

We would also like to thank those who hosted, moderated, and facilitated the various sessions, encouraging open and engaging conversations among all participants.

And, of course, thank you to all the attendees for their participation, questions, and contributions. Your engagement once again made Ambit Meets a leading forum for sharing knowledge and collectively shaping the future of digital transformation in Life Sciences.

Thank you for being part of such a special event. We look forward to seeing you at the next edition, with much more to discover.

Is any startup in Barcelona interested in bringing on top international talent this summer, completely free of charge?

I’m helping find the ideal match for Tomás, an Industrial and Operations Engineering student at the University of Michigan, who will be taking part this summer in a program that connects Barcelona startups with students from leading U.S. universities.

Tomás has experience in:
• Data analysis and process optimization

We are looking for startups where he can add value in areas such as operations, supply chain, manufacturing, data analytics, or product.

The program lasts 8 weeks.
There is no cost to the startup.
It provides access to highly qualified talent from universities such as the University of Michigan, Harvard University, and Vanderbilt University.

If you think Tomás could be a good fit for your startup, or if you know someone who might be interested, I’d be happy to share more information.

Many companies say they struggle to hire great talent, yet at the same time, some avoid working with recruitment agencies altogether.

Why?

Here are the most common reasons we hear from employers:

• Bad previous experiences with low-quality candidates
• Recruiters who don’t understand the business
• High agency fees without clear ROI
• Too much pressure and “salesy” communication
• Internal HR teams wanting full control of hiring
• Fear of receiving quantity over quality

And honestly, some of these concerns are valid.

A recruitment agency should not just send CVs.
It should save time, improve hiring quality, and act as a strategic partner.

The best recruitment partnerships happen when:
– recruiters deeply understand the role and company culture
– communication is transparent
– expectations are realistic on both sides
– quality matters more than speed alone

Good recruiters don’t replace internal hiring teams.
They strengthen them.

For companies that had disappointing experiences before: sometimes the issue is not recruitment agencies in general, but choosing the wrong partner.

App development companies in Spain have become a key piece for any business that wants to compete in an increasingly demanding digital environment. It is no longer just about having an online presence, but about offering direct, fast, and personalized experiences that connect with users and generate real value for the business.

From improving customer relationships to optimizing internal processes or creating new revenue models, a well-designed app can make a significant difference. But for this to happen, it is not enough to simply develop an application; it is necessary to build a digital product with strategic purpose.

Choosing among the best app development agencies in Spain is not just a matter of comparing prices or designs—it is a strategic decision that directly impacts the future of your digital product and the viability of your business.

In this article, you will not find a generic list. You will understand what type of company you actually need and which one best fits your case.

How to choose an app development company

Before the ranking, a reality check: not all mobile app development companies do the same thing, even if it may seem so.

As experts in app development, these are the criteria we consider truly important (and that we have used in this analysis):

1. Custom development vs quick solutions

If your app is a core part of the business, you need custom development. Quick solutions may help validate ideas, but they limit growth.

2. Ability to understand business (not just code)

The second critical point is the approach. A company that simply executes what you ask for is not the same as one that analyzes your business model, questions decisions, and proposes improvements based on digital product experience.

3. Experience with real products

Real experience is also essential. It is not just about building apps, but about having launched products that work, scale, and overcome real market challenges.

4. Technological scalability

Another key aspect is technological scalability. An app should not need to be rebuilt after a few months due to poor technical planning.

5. Long-term support

Finally, long-term support is what truly makes the difference between a one-off provider and a growth partner.

Best app development companies in Spain

1. Doonamis

Unlike many companies that only execute development, at Doonamis we act as a strategic partner from the very beginning. With more than 15 years of experience in mobile app development for iOS and Android, we understand that the success of an app depends both on the idea and on how it is built from the start.

We support the entire process, from product definition to launch and evolution, helping create useful, scalable apps focused on real results.

This approach has allowed us to position ourselves as one of the leading app development companies in Spain, participating in multiple successful projects.

We develop native, cross-platform, and hybrid apps, always choosing the most suitable technology for each project and balancing performance, cost, and scalability.

Our process covers consulting, design, development, testing, and app store publication, with continuous support to ensure product evolution.

At Doonamis, we do not just build apps—we build digital products that grow with the business.

2. Yeeply

Yeeply represents a different model within the Spanish app development ecosystem, as it operates as a platform that connects companies with development teams depending on project needs.

This approach allows access to a broad talent network and enables fast project initiation, which can be useful when flexibility or rapid execution is required.

3. GoodBarber

GoodBarber is an alternative focused on no-code app creation, making it an interesting option within mobile app development when the goal is to launch something simple quickly.

This type of solution helps reduce costs and development time, but introduces clear limitations in terms of customization and scalability, making it more suitable for early-stage projects or cases where the app is not the core of the business.

4. Infinum

Infinum brings an international perspective to the list of top app development agencies in Spain, with experience in large-scale and corporate environments. Its structure and processes are designed for organizations requiring high levels of coordination and technical robustness.

This type of company is best suited for complex projects with multiple stakeholders, where management capability and enterprise experience are key factors.

5. Apiumhub (Plain Concepts)

Apiumhub (part of Plain Concepts) is a Spanish company with a technical focus, specialized in software engineering and system architecture. Its proposal is centered on development quality and building robust technical solutions.

6. Dribba

Dribba is another Spanish agency specialized in app development and digital products. Its public positioning highlights a strong focus on strategy, design, and engineering, as well as solid experience with Flutter and cross-platform development.

What app development company do you need for your project?

Not all companies fit all projects. Choosing correctly depends on the stage of your product:

• Idea validation: no-code solutions or fast platforms may be enough.
• Growing startup: you need an app development company that thinks about scalability from day one.
• Established company: agencies with experience in system integration and complex processes are usually the best fit.
• Core digital product: custom development and a strategic approach are essential.

Do you have a project in mind?

At Doonamis, we specialize in mobile app development and high-quality digital products. If you have an idea but don’t know where to start, we can help shape it from the very beginning.

If you are comparing the best app development agencies in Spain, we can guide you without obligation. Get in touch, and we will turn it into a real digital product designed to grow and perform.

Hello!

At SKOLAE Formación, we are developing the Barometer on Investment in Technological Training and Artificial Intelligence, a study aimed at understanding how organizations are approaching the training of their teams in digital skills, ICT, and artificial intelligence.

The survey is aimed at professionals with decision-making power or influence over their teams’ training and only takes 3 to 5 minutes to complete.

Your responses will be treated confidentially and will help us gain a more accurate understanding of:

• current company priorities
• main training needs
• the role of AI and ICT in training plans
• the technological challenges teams are facing

Thank you for helping us build a clearer picture of the current landscape of technological training in Spain.
