Investing in Digital Health: Why Barcelona-Catalonia is on the Global Map

With over 3,000 experts gathered in Barcelona, the Health Revolution Congress has become a flagship event for the Digital Health sector in Europe. As the largest meeting point for digital health professionals in Southern Europe, it offers a snapshot of where the industry is headed—and why Barcelona-Catalonia is a key player in shaping that future.

In our latest video, we speak with two international investors—Fiorela Kapllanaj, Analyst at Nina Capital, and Pablo Prieto, Managing Director at CG Health Ventures—who share their insights on why Catalonia stands out in the global Digital Health landscape. 

From groundbreaking research coming out of local universities to a record €177.7 million in venture capital invested in health startups in 2024 alone (a 43% increase from the previous year), Catalonia is proving itself as one of Europe’s most dynamic innovation hubs.

Both investors highlight the quality and global potential of the startups emerging from Catalonia, naming companies like Methinks, Deepull, and Amelia among their recent investments. They also point to the value of founder-driven solutions and the importance of scaling innovations globally—strengths that Catalan startups consistently demonstrate.

Events like the Health Revolution Congress provide a vital space to connect with emerging talent, assess market trends, and build long-term partnerships. As Pablo Prieto notes, it's “a good touchpoint on a yearly basis” to engage with both the local and international ecosystem.
