Investment levels among companies based at the University of Barcelona Science Park (PCB-UB) are holding steady. The 86 spin-offs, start-ups and scale-ups operating in the PCB collectively secured \u20ac124.7 million in funding in 2024, which is a substantial rise on the \u20ac85.4 million<\/a> raised in 2023. This is also the second-highest total in the PCB\u2019s history, just behind the record total of \u20ac142 million<\/a> achieved in 2022. With all available space now occupied, this University of Barcelona (UB) ecosystem is consolidating its role as a driver of biomedical innovation and a strategic focal point for the sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following an overall slump in investment in 2023 due to global geopolitical and economic uncertainty, companies showed signs of financial recovery and stabilising growth in 2024. This was particularly evident in private funding<\/strong>, which reached \u20ac97.5 million<\/strong> and remained the primary source of investment for companies in the health sector. Public funding<\/strong> from competitive national and European grants also rose to \u20ac27.2 million<\/strong> (up 53.6% from the previous year), playing an increasingly important role in driving innovation.<\/p>\n

Investment by subsector maintained previous trends, with medtech<\/strong> once again attracting the largest share (\u20ac85.5 million<\/strong>), followed by biotech<\/strong> (\u20ac37 million<\/strong>). This consolidates their status as the primary focal points for R&D among companies based at the PCB. Meanwhile, emerging fields such as deeptech<\/strong> and femtech<\/strong> gained traction, with several standout success stories arising in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The central nervous system, oncology and immunology remained the main therapeutic areas attracting investment.<\/p>\n

The PCB continued to serve as a powerful driver of investment within Catalonia\u2019s BioRegion. According to the latest Biocat report, more than a third (36%) of all capital raised in this domain in 2024<\/strong> (\u20ac347 million) was concentrated within the PCB ecosystem. The report notes that investment in the sector has stabilised<\/a>, with growth figures returning to pre-pandemic trends and firmly establishing the health sector as the third-largest source of wealth in Catalonia.<\/p>\n

PCB Director Maria Terrades<\/strong> said: \u201c2024 was a year of consolidation and stability for our ecosystem. The full occupancy of the PCB\u2019s facilities and the steady increase in investment reflect the trust placed in the science, talent and innovation nurtured at the PCB\u201d. She added: \u201cThese figures not only position us as a driving force in biomedical innovation in Catalonia, but also highlight the success of a public-private collaboration model that we champion \u2013 one that continues, year after year, to demonstrate its ability to generate impact and shared value.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rector of the University of Barcelona, Joan Gu\u00e0rdia<\/strong>, emphasised that \u201cprojects like the University of Barcelona Science Park embody the institution\u2019s transformative spirit\u201d. He added: \u201cThe trio of research, business and knowledge transfer makes the PCB a unique point of reference within the University of Barcelona. This area will be further strengthened in the coming years with the development of the new Cl\u00ednic Campus project, which will drive and consolidate the Diagonal Health Axis as one of southern Europe\u2019s premier hubs for health, research and education.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2024, the PCB successfully completed the BCN Health Booster<\/strong> acceleration programme, which enabled 11 spin-offs and start-ups to set up in University of Barcelona facilities and benefit from subsidised access to laboratory space. Together, these 11 companies attracted \u20ac17.6 million<\/strong><\/a> in public and private capital in 2024. Over the three-year course of the programme, they raised a total of \u20ac107.5 million<\/strong> in funding and drove the development of 69 patents.<\/p>\n

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, a major player<\/strong><\/h3>\n

INBRAIN Neuroelectronics<\/strong> continued its remarkable trajectory, topping the list for private investment within the PCB entrepreneurial community for the second consecutive year. The company secured a record-breaking \u20ac78.2 million<\/strong> in 2024, thanks to a \u20ac46.2 million Series B round<\/a>, complemented by a further \u20ac32 million from strategic private partners. INBRAIN\u2019s Series B round was the second-largest deal recorded in Catalonia\u2019s BioRegion in 2024. These funds will enable the pioneering neuroelectronics company to accelerate clinical trials and expand its team as it advances the development of its innovative graphene-based therapeutic platform for treating neurological conditions such as Parkinson\u2019s disease and epilepsy.<\/p>\n

Nuage Therapeutics<\/strong>, a spinoff of IRB Barcelona and ICREA, closed the second-largest funding round within the PCB ecosystem, raising \u20ac5 million<\/strong> to support the development of cancer drugs targeting intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). The company is currently in an advanced preclinical phase and aims to bring its discoveries closer to therapeutic application in the near future.<\/p>\n

Blue biotech start-up B\u2019ZEOS<\/strong>, which specialises in sustainable packaging solutions derived from seaweed, completed a \u20ac5 million<\/strong> seed funding round<\/a>.
