Reelection and New Appointments to the BHC Board of Directors
During the BHC Annual Assembly, Asier Albizu and Julio Font (CEO of Histocell) were re-elected as president and vice-president of the cluster, respectively. Additionally, several board members were renewed. We are proud to announce that our CEO, Carlos Fernández Isoird, has been appointed as a board member of the BHC, succeeding our CTO, Juantxu Martin.

Employment Growth in the BHC
One of the most significant highlights of the meeting was the report on employment growth within the sector. Basque Health Cluster member companies have incorporated 1,500 new jobs in the past year, bringing the total to 11,500 professionals. Including research staff from Technology Centres, Research Centres, and Universities, the Basque Country now boasts 16,000 professionals in the Biosciences and Biomedicine fields. These figures underscore the dynamism and capacity for generating high-quality employment within this sector.
Idoia Muñoz Lizán, Director of the BHC, expressed immense satisfaction with these advancements, emphasizing the importance of inter and intrasectoral cooperation, as well as public-private collaboration, to address the significant transformations the sector is undergoing.
Economic Impact of the BHC
The Basque Health Cluster currently unites 128 member companies and organizations related to Biosciences and Biomedicine. In the past year, the cluster has welcomed 19 new participants, consolidating its position as a key player in the sector's development in the Basque Country. The BHC's activities have included participation in thirty events, the signing of six collaboration agreements, and the implementation of four training activities, benefiting over 50 professionals.
Economically, the sector represents 2.5% of the Basque GDP, contributing over 2 billion euros to the regional economy. This impact results from the collective efforts of companies, research centres, and universities working in Biosciences and Biomedicine.
Promising Future
During the event, Muñoz Lizán highlighted that the Biosciences and Biomedicine sector is one of the fastest-growing and most promising economic fields in the European Union, and consequently, in the Basque Country. The BHC Director underscored the continuous progress of the cluster since its establishment 14 years ago, noting that the best opportunities are yet to come.
The Basque Health Cluster remains committed to promoting the Biosciences and health sector in the Basque Country, working closely with public administrations and other national and international organizations. This commitment is reflected in the cluster's ongoing growth and positive impact on the regional economy and employment.
In conclusion, the BHC Eguna 2024 was not only an occasion to celebrate the achievements but also a platform to plan a future filled with opportunities and challenges in the Biosciences and Biomedicine sector. Thank you all for making this event a resounding success!
At Gogoa Mobility Robots, we are proud of our CEO, Carlos Fernández Isoird's active participation in the BHC Board of Directors, and we remain dedicated to contributing to the growth and innovation in the sector.
