BIOSPAIN is the largest biotech event organised by a national bio-industry association in Europe and one of the largest in the world by the number of one-to-one meetings and participating companies. This year, BIOSPAIN goes back to Barcelona, the main biotech cluster in Spain and one of the most dynamic cities in the world

Why Spain?

Nearly 4,000 companies carried out biotechnology activities in 2021, of which 862 are biotech firms.

47% of biotech firms working exclusively in biotechnology do so in human health, followed by those focused on food applications, at 42%.

In terms of geographic breakdown, Catalonia, Madrid, Andalusia and the Basque Country are home to the most companies. Catalonia leads in number of biotech companies in Spain, with over 24% of the total and more than 45% of total turnover.

The joint activity of biotech companies generated over €10,3 billion in income, which is 0.9% of the Spanish GDP.

The science produced by the Spanish biotechnology sector is excellent and its innovation is patented internationally.

Regarding production of scientific knowledge, Spanish biotechnology makes up 3.2% of global production and is cited 30% more than the global average in this area. Spain rose one position on the ranking by documents in biotechnology, to 8th in the world. Spanish biotechnology produces science of excellence, with 26% of papers among the top 10% most cited in the world.

The sector is working together to tackle the pandemic and maintains its interest in international markets.

Biotech firms forged 59% more alliances and 40% of them were with organisations from the public sector. This increase is due to the sector pulling together to fight Covid-19, seeking new products to diagnose and predict it, working to create new treatments and vaccines, and collaborating to manufacture them. AseBio members boosted their international presence 19% in 2020, with 35 member companies present in 48 countries.
