Its active participation in these leading events in the healthcare and biotechnology sectors is part of the support that CEIN provides through the HEALTH program to help startups scale up, strengthen their professional networks, and facilitate their access to international markets.

In this context, companies from Navarre have been able to hold bilateral meetings with investors and potential partners, participate in networking sessions, and attend conferences on the latest trends in biotechnology. In addition, a group of startups presented their solutions in the areas set aside for pitches.

As for the pitches, Amets Biotechnology won second prize in the Innovator’s Pitch Challenge (IPC), which was held as part of RESI Europe.

Ultimately, the primary goal of this mission has been to maximize opportunities for collaboration, learning, and business development within Navarre’s life sciences ecosystem.
