Sant Cugat is BIVA

Sant Cugat as an Ecosystem Catalyst

The Sant Cugat City Council has taken on an active role as a facilitator of alliances. This vision is embodied in the creation of BIVA – the Barcelona Innovation Valley Alliance, a platform that connects major companies like HP and Roche, universities such as ESADE and UAB, technology centers like Eurecat, and social organizations. BIVA not only drives projects but also coordinates collective efforts through stable structures like the Innovation Council and the Executive Committee, making Sant Cugat a city that creates real conditions for shared innovation.

Who promotes the Innovation Alliance

The alliance is made up of local and regional public bodies, global innovation centers from different sectors, business associations, and universities and technology and science centers in the region.
