Its goal is to turn this potential into collaborative projects that generate economic and social impact.<\/p>\n<p>During the session, Albert Salarich, Councillor for Business, Innovation and Internationalisation at Sant Cugat City Council, highlighted that BIVA builds on an established regional ecosystem characterised by a high concentration of companies, universities, hospitals and research centres. In this regard, he emphasised the need to connect these stakeholders and work together in areas such as talent, infrastructure, technology transfer and international positioning.<\/p>\n<p>From a business perspective, Jaume Vivas, former President of Sant Cugat Empresarial, stressed the importance of involving companies from the very outset of innovation processes to ensure that projects can reach the market and generate a tangible impact.<\/p>\n<p>Along the same lines, \u00d3scar P\u00e9rez, Head of R&amp;D and Business Development at Ferrer, highlighted that no organisation has all the scientific knowledge, talent and capabilities required to innovate on its own. Collaboration makes it possible to connect medical needs with the knowledge and resources needed to develop solutions that ultimately reach patients.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-sep-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography2-font-size);\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"font-family:var(--awb-typography2-font-family);font-weight:var(--awb-typography2-font-weight);font-style:var(--awb-typography2-font-style);margin:0;letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography2-letter-spacing);text-transform:var(--awb-typography2-text-transform);font-size:1em;line-height:var(--awb-typography2-line-height);\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\"><strong>From research to solutions that make a difference for patients<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\" style=\"--awb-content-alignment:left;--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography4-font-size);--awb-line-height:var(--awb-typography4-line-height);--awb-letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography4-letter-spacing);--awb-text-transform:var(--awb-typography4-text-transform);--awb-text-color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--awb-text-font-family:var(--awb-typography4-font-family);--awb-text-font-weight:var(--awb-typography4-font-weight);--awb-text-font-style:var(--awb-typography4-font-style);\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">One of the main challenges identified during the discussion was the need to move beyond traditional models in which research, business activity and healthcare needs progress independently. The proposed approach involves identifying challenges from the outset and engaging the most relevant stakeholders at each stage of the innovation process.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, Ester Calvo, professor at UIC Barcelona and Deputy Director of the VINCat programme, highlighted the role of universities and healthcare centres in identifying real needs, developing potential solutions and validating them. This collaboration makes it possible to establish a more integrated working framework connecting research, industry and healthcare provision.<\/p>\n<p>Marta Pr\u00edncep, who works in external innovation at Grifols, also highlighted the potential of combining life sciences with disciplines such as artificial intelligence to unlock new possibilities in research and diagnostics.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, she presented the Chronos project, which applies artificial intelligence to the analysis of plasma samples to identify patterns associated with Parkinson&#8217;s disease. This initiative illustrates how combining biomedical knowledge and technology can help advance disease detection.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\" style=\"border-radius:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26-800x535.jpg\" class=\"fusion-lightbox\" data-rel=\"iLightbox[galeria]\" data-title=\"PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26\" title=\"PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26-800x535.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-5963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26-800x535.jpg 800w, https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/biva.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PHOTO-2026-10-06-10-59-26.jpg 1515w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color4);--awb-margin-top-small:10px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:10px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-sep-color:var(--awb-color1);--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography2-font-size);\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"font-family:var(--awb-typography2-font-family);font-weight:var(--awb-typography2-font-weight);font-style:var(--awb-typography2-font-style);margin:0;letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography2-letter-spacing);text-transform:var(--awb-typography2-text-transform);font-size:1em;line-height:var(--awb-typography2-line-height);\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\"><strong>Talent, specialisation and tangible results<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\" style=\"--awb-content-alignment:left;--awb-font-size:var(--awb-typography4-font-size);--awb-line-height:var(--awb-typography4-line-height);--awb-letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography4-letter-spacing);--awb-text-transform:var(--awb-typography4-text-transform);--awb-text-color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--awb-text-font-family:var(--awb-typography4-font-family);--awb-text-font-weight:var(--awb-typography4-font-weight);--awb-text-font-style:var(--awb-typography4-font-style);\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">The ability to attract and retain talent is another key factor in consolidating an innovative ecosystem.

Shared priorities must be established, specific challenges identified and projects developed with clear objectives, implementation capabilities and measurable outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Along these lines, the discussion highlighted the importance of moving beyond isolated working practices and towards cross-sector collaboration among the different stakeholders within the ecosystem.
