The healthcare sector takes center stage among the Navarran companies recognized in the TOP 101 Spain Up Nation, as four of the five startups operate in this field.

And finally, Opportunity Health is a startup specializing in healthcare technology, focused on developing innovative medical devices to save lives in critical situations. Its main area of focus is the creation of an automatic, self-administering airway clearance device, designed to function without the need for external intervention.
