CataloniaBio & HealthTech<\/a> has appointed Javier Selva as CEO of the association, based in the Barcelona Science Park, to lead its growth and continue to promote the representation of companies in the biomedicine and health sector in Catalonia. Selva will work together with the new board chaired by Joan Puig de Dou, CEO of Kymos, from February 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Javier Selva has been linked to the sector for nearly 17 years, from his research career nearby research hospitals, to industry and project management. He has worked in the health sector in universities (University of Barcelona), research centres (IMIM, IBEC) and industrial associations (Fenin). In the industrial sector, Selva has experience in advocating for the essentiality and strategy of the healthcare sector, building loyalty with relevant institutional stakeholders and advising them on innovation, internationalisation, talent management and market access. In this sense, he has been part of different working groups and committees on EU policies on behalf of regional and national bodies (Catalan Health Department, ACCI\u00d3, CDTI-SOST) or defining the industry position at umbrella association (Medtech Europe, COCIR, Foment del Treball).<\/p>\n

“The incorporation of Javier Selva will help us to\u00a0take the association to \u00a0another level, now we have surpassed the 200 members. His main task will be to continue to expand the association in those areas where it is still under-represented, while developing and continuing to implement the Strategic Plan in order to offer a value-added service to members. To make this possible, he has a great team and the experience of the deputy director general, Melqui Calzado<\/strong>“, explains Joan Puig<\/strong>, president of CataloniaBio & HealthTech.<\/p>\n

The new general management continues in this line to\u00a0stimulate the transversality of \u00a0the entity and to promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and the generation of \u00a0ecosystems among its members and related entities.<\/p>\n

“CataloniaBio & HealthTech is a key player in promoting and fostering competitiveness, \u00a0as well as generating value to make health a strategic sector in Catalonia. Our strength is being the consolidated meeting point of the sector with the entire value chain;\u00a0our opportunity is the public-private collaboration \u00a0model that makes us a unique element in the ecosystem,” says\u00a0Javier \u00a0Selva<\/strong>, CEO of CataloniaBio & HealthTech.<\/p>\n

More than 200 members\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CataloniaBio & HealthTech\u00a0represents more than \u00a0200 companies and institutions\u00a0in the biomedicine and health sector in Catalonia. The profile of members ranges from micro-enterprises to SMEs and large corporations that develop products (drugs, medical devices, diagnostic tests…), scientific and non-scientific services, and knowledge generators.<\/p>\n

The association’s mission is to increase the competitiveness and size of companies by generating new products and services that improve people’s health through the promotion of innovation, entrepreneurship and networking, as well as to position Catalonia as one of the main health hubs in the world.<\/p>\n
