There are around 100 startups in the BioRegion of Catalonia led and/or founded by women, representing such diverse fields as biotechnology, medical technologies, digital health and investment, among others. To commemorate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11, we have interviewed ten women entrepreneurs from the BioRegion who have launched a company within the past three years.
Last March, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic put mobility and social life on hold in most of the world, however in biotech and healthcare, things didn’t stop at all.
