Technological innovation is transforming the Life Sciences sector. But in a highly regulated industry, the challenge is not only to adopt new technologies, but to ensure that innovation, efficiency, and compliance move forward at the same pace.

With this in mind, at Ambit Iberia, a company specialized in Life Sciences, technology, and regulated environments, we have launched Partner Insights 2026.

The new edition of our annual magazine brings together the insights and experience of 13 technology partners to explore how the sector is evolving and which trends will shape its transformation.

This publication features ValGenesis, Agilent, Stratence, The Triality Group, ALSO, Appliant, Applus+ Laboratories, Andersen, MedBoard, e-Consulting, EasyVista, Verázial Labs, and Softlanding, offering perspectives and expertise from different areas of specialization.

Throughout the magazine, we explore some of the topics currently at the heart of the technology conversation:

• Artificial intelligence and its application in regulated environments.
• Digital transformation and adoption.
• Process automation and optimization.
• Validation and quality.
• ITSM and technology management.
• Cybersecurity.
• Regulatory Affairs and compliance.
• New solutions for the Life Sciences sector.

Partner Insights is built on one conviction: technological transformation accelerates when we share knowledge and connect different perspectives.

Rather than presenting a single vision of the future of Life Sciences, this publication brings together the experiences, learnings, and perspectives of technology companies that are helping transform the industry from different areas of expertise.

As experts in digital solutions and regulatory and quality consulting services for the Life Sciences sector, at Ambit Iberiawe want to continue creating spaces that connect industry, innovation, and the technology ecosystem.

Discover Partner Insights 2026 and explore the perspectives of the 13 partners joining us in this edition.

Starting to notice hair loss? Science can help.

At Valoris Lab, we are a DermaTech company combining science and personalisation to support people in the early stages of hair loss. We develop tailored haircare products and routines designed to help restore hair and density, strengthen the hair, and improve scalp and hair health.

Our story began at university. The scientific foundation of our technology was developed under the direction of Professor Smits, who leads our hair loss research.

This summer 2026, we are excited to welcome a new group of interns. Their work focuses on turning the latest scientific research into rigorous, accessible content about hair loss and hair health.

Thanks to their contribution, we publish evidence-based content on topics such as:

• Hair loss
• Alopecia areata
• Beard alopecia (alopecia barbae)

We invite you to follow us on LinkedIn, where we share the latest scientific advances in hair growth.

The NAIVE project —Neotropical AI-assisted VErtebrate identification through ZooMS—, led by ICTA-UAB and scientifically directed by Dr André Carlo Colonese, Director of Research at the Department of Prehistory and ICTA-UAB, has received an ERC Proof of Concept grant to advance the development of a new solution for the molecular identification of species.

At Imaginae, we are deeply grateful for the trust placed in our team as the project’s technology partner. We will contribute to the design and development of the digital prototype that will support this scientific initiative.

A Project to Transform Species Identification Through AI

NAIVE was created with the aim of transforming the use of ZooMS —Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry— into a faster, more structured and scalable tool for the taxonomic identification of animal remains.

The project combines molecular analysis, mass spectrometry and artificial intelligence to facilitate species identification from fragmented remains or animal-derived products, particularly in contexts where traditional morphological identification methods are insufficient.

This approach could have a significant impact in areas such as biodiversity conservation, archaeological research, the study of historical ecosystems and the fight against the illegal wildlife trade.

Imaginae’s Role

Vertical Imaginae Solutions will focus its contribution on developing the project’s digital prototype, designed to facilitate the management, analysis and interpretation of spectral data through digital technologies and applied artificial intelligence.

The platform will support the development of a more automated, traceable and structured workflow by integrating data-upload capabilities, assisted analysis, confidence indicators and the generation of interpretable results for scientific teams and potential institutional users.

This development is conceived as a technological proof of concept aligned with the project’s scientific objectives and based on a modular approach that will enable future stages of evolution, validation and scalability.

Science, Technology and Environmental Impact

For our team, participating in NAIVE represents a particularly meaningful opportunity to apply our expertise in digital platform development, artificial intelligence and process automation to a project with scientific, environmental and social impact.

Collaboration between advanced research and applied technology is essential to turn scientific knowledge into useful, reproducible and transferable tools. In this regard, NAIVE is an example of how digital innovation can help address major global challenges such as biodiversity loss and the illegal wildlife trade.

At Imaginae, we would like to congratulate Dr André Carlo Colonese, ICTA-UAB and all the collaborating institutions on this recognition, and once again express our gratitude for the opportunity to be part of this project.

Official ICTA-UAB news release.

Teams are already generating code with AI faster than they have ever written it before. The question is no longer “can I generate it?”, but “can I ship it to production with confidence?”

From Barcelona and London, at Quality Clouds we have just launched Quality Clouds Hub: a platform that analyses your AI-generated code and tells you, in minutes, whether it is production-ready.

Automatic stack detection — paste your repository and Hub detects frameworks and technologies instantly, with no configuration.

Production-Ready Score — a clear score across security, performance, maintainability, scalability, and architecture, built on more than 8 years of enterprise code governance data.

Paste-ready fixes — generates an instructions file for Cursor, Claude Code, or Lovable so your AI agent can fix the issues directly.

It works with any stack and is free to get started — no card, no expiry. We would love the Tech Barcelona community to put it to the test and tell us what they think.
