CRAASH Barcelona and d·HEALTH Barcelona participants pitch projects in Paris

Eight projects from CRAASH Barcelona and six d·HEALTH Barcelona fellows traveled to Paris this September to validate their projects in one of Europe’s largest markets, with the Medicen Paris Region cluster. During the road trip, the fellows and projects from the two Moebio programs met with the main local stakeholders to look for synergies and expand their international network of contacts.

The agenda for the road trip, among other activities, included a visit to the Parisian start-up incubator STATION F and the Agoranov incubator, where CRAASH Barcelona and d·HEALTH Barcelona participants had the chance to chat with local stakeholders and pitch their projects. Participants also got the chance to meet with local investors.

The participating projects from CRAASH Barcelona were Aniling, Fine Birth, Levitate Medical, Luminate Medical, Nima, Seizeit, Flomics and Smiletronix. From d·HEALTH Barcelona, six fellows from the 2019 graduating class joined in the road trip, representing the three teams that did their clinical immersion this year at Hospital Clinic, Hospital Vall d’Hebron and Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol.
