Both organizations reaffirm their commitment to continue strengthening the Basque business network, promoting connections between industry, research, the healthcare system, and institutions, and fostering initiatives that accelerate the sector's transformation. During the first year of collaboration, they have driven joint initiatives to encourage knowledge exchange and dialogue.
Boehringer Ingelheim has participated in meetings and activities promoted by the Basque Health Cluster, contributing to the creation of spaces for dialogue and knowledge sharing on the sector's key challenges and opportunities. It has also been involved in open innovation actions and connections with companies and other stakeholders within the Basque biosanitary ecosystem.
The renewed agreement will enable the continuation of an activity agenda, including strategic meetings, knowledge-sharing sessions, networking opportunities, and actions aimed at fostering new collaboration possibilities among ecosystem players.
This alliance is renewed at a time of significant strength for Euskadi's healthcare sector, which boasts an annual turnover exceeding 9.4 billion euros, generates over 62,000 jobs, and comprises more than 415 organizations.
Guillem Bruch, Director of Market Access and Health Management at Boehringer Ingelheim, emphasized that "collaborating and cooperating with all stakeholders in the health ecosystem inspires us to walk together on the path of their transformation." He highlighted the strong commitment to continue building this future in Euskadi.
Meanwhile, Idoia Muñoz, Director of the Basque Health Cluster, stated that having companies like Boehringer Ingelheim as Business Partners holds dual value: "it allows us to create spaces for collaboration and dialogue around the major challenges of the healthcare system, and it helps bring these companies closer to the Basque ecosystem and showcase firsthand the innovation capacity present in Euskadi."
Euskadi continues to be a leading European hub for innovation in health and biosciences, and this partnership strengthens the ecosystem's ability to develop innovative solutions that impact people's health.
