A delegation of investors from Spain has arrived in the region which it is hoped could unlock key opportunities in the health and technology sectors.
The packed itinerary involved the group meeting local health tech businesses, hearing from the National Innovation Centre for Data and a tour of science and tech hub Newcastle Helix, with a main focus on sharing knowledge and insights from the National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA).
The delegates included Spanish health tech companies, the Department of Business and Trade and an advisor from the Nagusi Intelligence Center, a centre for public-private collaboration that aims to transform the challenges of an ageing population into opportunities for economic and social development.
