Carme Verdaguer, managing director of the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation (FBG), the three organisations promoting this initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarcelona Science Park is strongly committed to the field of medical devices\u201d, assured its CEO, Ignasi Belda during the MedTeX presentation. \u201cWe want the Park to become the hub for this economic sector that is experiencing such growth, in the same way as we did with the biotechnology sector twenty years ago now. For that reason, we have promoted several initiatives in this field, such as the MedTeX accelerator and the implementation of shared scientific services specialising in medical devices, among other projects\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to M. Carme Verdaguer, Managing Director of the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation: \u201cIn the past 15 years, the Foundation has participated in the creation of more than 35 spin-offs and, together with Barcelona Science Park, has been a pioneer in implementing different bioincubation projects. Now, we want to offer a good opportunity for boosting businesses within the field of medical technologies with the MedTeX acceleration programme. This is a sector that is experiencing rapid growth and is contributing towards improving our quality of life\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe initiatives that relate to biomedicine and medical technologies are considered to be a benchmark in the Universitat de Barcelona (UB). This is due to the importance of the sector\u201d, highlighted Jaume Valls, director of the Barcelona Entrepreneurship Institute. \u201cIn this context, the projects related to medical devices and digital health are playing a leading role that must be harnessed: first, because they enable researchers from different fields to get involved and second, because they are shaping successful, innovative business models that can be replicated\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Entrepreneurs who have been chosen for this first round of the programme will also participate in this event. They will deliver an elevator pitch lasting 3 minutes to present their business project.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u25ba<strong>About MedTeX programme<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcb.ub.edu\/MedTeX\/\">http:\/\/www.pcb.ub.edu\/MedTeX\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Barcelona Science Park (PCB), the Bosch i Gimpera Foundation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fbg.ub.edu\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FBG<\/a>) and the Barcelona Entrepreneurship Institute (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ub.edu\/emprenedoria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BIE<\/a>)\u00a0are giving the go ahead for the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcb.ub.edu\/MedTeX\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MedTeX<\/a>\u00a0acceleration programme, a ground-breaking initiative \u2014co-financed by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.accio.gencat.cat\/ca\/inici\">ACCI\u00d3<\/a>\u2014 to boost emerging enterprises with an innovative business project that shows a clear international commitment within the field of medical technologies and\u00a0eHealth.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54154,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
