Con un ecosistema en plena expansión, la salud digital en Cataluña se posiciona como un motor clave en la transformación digital del sector sanitario, gracias a una firme apuesta por la innovación, la colaboración público-privada y el talento tecnológico.

El sector de la salud digital en Cataluña vive un momento de máxima efervescencia. Según el informe elaborado por la Unidad de Estrategia e Inteligencia Competitiva de ACCIÓ, en colaboración con Barcelona Health Hub, Biocat, la Agencia de Calidad y Evaluación Sanitarias de Cataluña y la Fundación TIC Salut Social, en 2025 el territorio cuenta con 386 empresas dedicadas a la salud digital, un 16,6% más que el año anterior.

Estas empresas han generado 5.302 puestos de trabajo y una facturación de 633 millones de euros, cifras que muestran un crecimiento sólido y sostenido. Más de la mitad son startups (55,7%) y la gran mayoría son pymes (92,5%). Cataluña destaca especialmente por su capacidad innovadora en áreas como la inteligencia artificial (IA), las terapias digitales, la robótica médica y las tecnologías inmersivas. ¡Conoce más detalle sobre este interesante informe!

Una apuesta decidida por la innovación y el talento

Con 160 empresas desarrollando soluciones de IA, 23 en tecnologías inmersivas y 12 en robótica médica, Cataluña es un polo de atracción de talento e inversión internacional. De hecho, es la segunda región del mundo en capital invertido en tecnologías de salud y la quinta en captación de proyectos de inversión extranjera. Grandes multinacionales como AstraZeneca, Bayer, Novartis o Roche han establecido hubs tecnológicos en la región.

El sistema universitario y de investigación también juega un papel clave. Centros de referencia como el Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, el Hospital del Mar o el Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, junto con universidades y centros tecnológicos, han consolidado un ecosistema de conocimiento pionero que respalda el desarrollo de soluciones digitales innovadoras.

Impacto en la ciudadanía y el sistema sanitario

Plataformas como La Meva Salut y servicios como eConsulta han experimentado una adopción masiva, demostrando que la transformación digital mejora la accesibilidad, la eficiencia y la calidad de la atención sanitaria. Esta digitalización también ha reforzado el empoderamiento del paciente y ha promovido nuevos modelos de atención más personalizados y predictivos.

Casos de éxito con sello catalán

Iniciativas como Nixi for Children (realidad virtual para reducir la ansiedad infantil), Starlab (diagnóstico precoz del Alzheimer mediante neurotecnología) o Mindsyst (plataforma de datos para salud mental y envejecimiento) son solo algunos ejemplos del dinamismo del ecosistema catalán. Estas soluciones innovadoras han sido reconocidas a nivel internacional y han contribuido a posicionar Cataluña como un hub de salud digital de referencia.

Retos y oportunidades de futuro

Pese al crecimiento, el sector todavía enfrenta importantes desafíos como la privacidad y seguridad de los datos, la interoperabilidad de los sistemas y la resistencia al cambio en algunos ámbitos del sistema sanitario. También es necesario seguir fomentando la formación de profesionales híbridos con conocimientos tecnológicos y clínicos.

No obstante, las oportunidades son enormes: el envejecimiento de la población, el auge de la medicina personalizada y la consolidación de nuevas plataformas de servicios digitales apuntan hacia un futuro en el que la salud digital será un eje central de cualquier sistema sanitario sostenible y eficiente.

• EBRO has chosen the LYRA 80 model, the most compact 80 kW fast charger on the market, designed and manufactured by FLOOX in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat.
  With a turnover of €3.5 million, Catalan startup FLOOX has begun its international expansion in France, Austria, Denmark, Latvia, and Argentina.
• Barcelona, June 3, 2025 – The Catalan company FLOOX, a leader in fast and ultra-fast charging technology for electric vehicles, has integrated its LYRA 80 fast chargers into the EBRO factory, located in Barcelona’s Zona Franca.

The LYRA 80 chargers will serve EBRO’s assembly line, providing fast, reliable, and robust charging solutions tailored to industrial environments. FLOOX was selected for the technical efficiency, sustainability, and compactness of its chargers, capable of integrating into demanding production processes.

Local electric mobility

“The LYRA 80 is the most compact DC fast charger on the market at its power level, allowing wall mounting without taking up parking space,” says Martí Salvador, Managing Director at FLOOX. “For FLOOX, collaborating with a historic brand like EBRO is much more than a commercial agreement: it’s a shared commitment to industrial innovation and sustainable mobility made at home. We are proud that our chargers are part of EBRO’s revival and its dedication to a new generation of electrified vehicles made in Barcelona.”

Manufactured in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) with recycled steel and 90% recyclable components, the LYRA 80 enables quick installation without civil works and supports remote preventive maintenance. Its ability to charge two vehicles simultaneously makes it an ideal solution for production plants. Furthermore, it can recharge from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes, fast enough to keep manufacturing running smoothly.

National and international expansion

Until 2025, FLOOX had focused on the Spanish market, where it has already installed over 300 chargers across the country. In 2024, its second year of operation, the company reached €3.5 million in revenue. This year, it has expanded internationally with a presence in France, Austria, Denmark, Latvia, and Argentina, and plans to consolidate this growth throughout 2025.

Recently, FLOOX took part in Power2Drive (Munich), Europe’s leading electric mobility trade fair, and will be present in June at EVS38 (Sweden), the world’s premier event in the sector.

GooApps presents the latest updates on Break the Gap: AI for Health & Sport Summit 2025, the event that drives technological innovation by offering a platform to transform ideas into future-ready startups. This second edition expands its scope with two independent tracks: the BreakTheGap AI & mHealth Challenge, focused on digital health, wellness, and medical technology, and the BreakTheGap AI & SportTech Challenge, centered on sports performance, injury prevention, and the application of AI in elite sports.

Contrary to what some may think, the event is not exclusive to women. While the goal of promoting female leadership remains, there are no gender restrictions for participation. Teams made up of men, women, or both can submit their challenges and compete on equal terms. This commitment to diversity is also reflected in the event’s ecosystem, which includes mentors, speakers, and judges who are women leaders in their fields.

One of the major new features is that all finalist teams—eight in total (four per track)—will gain access to a free acceleration program valued at €10,000, with no strings attached. Additionally, the winners of each track will have the option to receive a €50,000 equity investment from GooApps Ventures, but only if they choose to. This flexible model aims to support growth without imposing conditions.

Another important update is the extended application deadline, now open until June 8, 2025, in response to high participant demand. The eight finalist projects will be announced on June 20, and team formation will be revealed on June 25. Three online working sessions will then take place on July 3, 10, and 17, focused on solution development, validation, and prototyping. The in-person finals will be held at two iconic venues in Barcelona: on September 9 at the Barcelona Health Hub, located in the Modernist Site of Sant Pau (health track), and on September 10 at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium (sports track).

Break the Gap 2025 is solidifying its role as a platform to build purposeful technology, scale impactful ideas, and connect talent with opportunities in the health and sports sectors.

The startup ecosystem is a dynamic, innovative, and often highly competitive environment. On their path to growth, many startups invest great efforts in developing their technology or perfecting their business model, but often overlook a key aspect: communication.

At Canela, we’ve worked with startups from various sectors and at all stages of growth, which has allowed us to identify recurring mistakes that can hinder their visibility, credibility, and audience connection. In particular, there are 7 deadly sins in communication and marketing that many startups commit. These mistakes, though common, can be avoided with a well-planned strategy.

If you want to know what they are and how to avoid them, keep reading:

Lumping PR and advertising together
In advertising, we have total control over the message. In PR, the message is mediated by a third party—the journalist. While this may seem risky, it’s actually an advantage. When we say our product is good, it’s received one way; when someone else says it, it’s more credible.

Believing that if it can’t be measured, it has no value
We know quantitative results are essential for justifying investments and analysis. However, when it comes to brand awareness and reputation, measurement is more complex. Just like on social media it’s better to have a strong, engaged community than just high follower counts, in PR a deep, well-messaged article is worth more than multiple brief mentions. Quality matters more than quantity.

“We’re a startup, so we have no budget”
There are many ways to position a brand. If we want to work with an agency, regardless of the sector, we need to ensure we have the budget and resources to support the project. Otherwise, it’s better to invest time in small communication actions that can make a difference, like building a strong LinkedIn community.

Being obsessed with the competition
It’s important to identify and analyze competitors’ strategies, but this monitoring shouldn’t distract from our own brand and strategy. A monthly analysis of competitor activity is enough to stay aware of sector trends.

Focusing only on the short term
Many startups only focus on short-term goals. Don’t fall into that trap! Having long-term visions and objectives gives us hope and ambition—and may be the key to overcoming obstacles along the way.

Ignoring the importance of the local market
Spanish media want Spanish data. If we’re launching a business in Spain, it’s essential to clearly explain—with local data—what problem our product or service helps solve.

Wanting to make the front page
Front pages are reserved for top news: politics, government, wars, or unprecedented events. Outside of that, it’s very hard to make the front page. It’s important to adjust our expectations to the media landscape in the country where we operate.

At IDEA, we’re excited to join one of the most powerful tech ecosystems in Europe. With over 15 years of experience developing custom software solutions and digital marketing strategies, we arrive with a clear mission: to bring innovation, collaboration, and real value.

🎯 What do we bring to the ecosystem?

🔹 Web, mobile, and B2B development (CRM, ERP, CMS)
🔹 Cloud infrastructure and technical support
🔹 SEO/SEM strategies, UI/UX, and digital branding
🔹 Experience in high-impact projects in consumer goods, retail, education, healthcare, logistics, and media

We’re already working on new synergies with companies in the ecosystem. If you’re also transforming the digital world from Barcelona, we’d love to connect!

Lizcore®, the Spanish tech startup revolutionizing indoor climbing, is showcasing its latest safety innovation at CWA Summit 2025, North America’s leading conference for the climbing gym industry, taking place this week in Salt Lake City.

Addressing the critical issue of human error in autobelay usage, Lizcore® introduces its groundbreaking Safety Gate for Autobelay system. This smart solution is being demonstrated live in collaboration with Perfect Descent Climbing Systems, the global leader in autobelay devices, at the Perfect Descent booth throughout the summit.

Lizcore®’s Safety Gate employs Artificial Intelligence (AI), developed in partnership with the inLabFIB innovation lab at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in Spain, combined with a camera system to proactively prevent accidents. The technology automatically verifies the climber’s correct connection to the autobelay, checks harness and carabiner placement, and detects unauthorized or unsecured climbing attempts, triggering visual and audio alerts along with real-time notifications in Lizcore®’s app and climbing gym management software.

“Being at the CWA Summit is crucial for Lizcore®. Showcasing our Safety Gate here, alongside an industry leader like Perfect Descent, highlights our commitment to global climbing safety and marks a significant step in our international expansion,” said Edgar Casanovas, CEO of Lizcore®. “Our goal is to provide climbing gyms with tools that make climbing not only safer but also smarter and more efficient.”

During the event, Lizcore® also announced the launch of pre-orders for the Safety Gate in the U.S. market, with commercial availability expected in 2026, following advanced AI training phases currently underway at gyms in Spain. Furthermore, Perfect Descent Climbing Systems has been confirmed as the official distributor in the U.S. for Lizcore®’s Safety Gate technology, strengthening the strategic alliance between the two companies.

A climbing gym in the city of Barcelona is expected to implement this impressive technology soon, demonstrating the city’s potential to be a leader in climbing tech innovation.

About Lizcore®
Lizcore® is a Spanish tech startup founded by climbers with a mission to make indoor climbing safer, smarter, and more engaging. Through an AI-powered integrated hardware and software platform, Lizcore® delivers innovative solutions for performance tracking, gamification, climbing gym management, and most importantly, climber safety.
