The Government of Catalonia is delighted to invite you to an exclusive evening at Catalonia House in London, bringing together investors, venture capital firms and biotechnology companies from the UK and Catalonia’s dynamic life sciences ecosystem.
Taking place during London Life Sciences Week 2026, the event will explore what it takes for a biotech company to successfully make the journey from preclinical development into the clinic, and the factors that can make a difference along the way - from access to capital and expertise to clinical infrastructure, talent and strategic partnerships.
The panel, moderated by Nick Ross, Co-founder of Invest in Equity, will bring together leading voices from the investment ecosystem, including Clara Campàs, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Asabys Partners, and Laura Rodríguez, Partner at Invivo Partners. Through an investor perspective, we will explore what VCs look for when assessing companies approaching the clinic, the key milestones that can unlock further investment, and how the right ecosystem can support biotech companies as they progress from preclinical development to clinical trials and beyond.
Join us to gain insights from experienced investors, discover opportunities for cross-border collaboration, and learn more about why Catalonia is an attractive environment to develop, scale and bring innovative biotech companies into the clinic.
The final panel will be announced soon.
