The University of Barcelona has created a new Master's Degree to foster technological innovation in the health sector and promote business initiative.
The University of Barcelona has created a new Master's Degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Biomedical Engineering (starting September 2017). This master's degree has been introduced in coordination with EIT Health, in the framework of the European Union, and as part of the Research and Innovation Programme (Horizon 2020).

The main aim of this master's degree is to train a new generation of technologists who will transform biomedical innovations into feasible business solutions. The master's degree helps students develop in-depth knowledge of technologies used in the health sector; gives them the capacity to understand clinical, social and economic aspects; and a broad understanding of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit in the medical technology sector. It is designed to foster technological innovation in the health sector, and to promote business initiatives.
