Last Friday, October 17th, students of the Master's Degree in Biotechnology and Biomedicine R&D visited BIOHUB VLC, an innovation and entrepreneurship center designed to strengthen the Life Sciences ecosystem in the city of Valencia. BioHub brings together Life Sciences companies and specialized service providers, with the goal of promoting their scientific and business development and building impactful projects for human health. This ambitious project has a spectacular headquarters in the Marina of Port of Valencia, where one of the buildings that hosted the America's Cup Sailing Championships has been renovated, located in the heart of La Marina de València.

There, the students were welcomed by Ángela Pérez, founder and Vice President of Business Development at Health in Code (a leading genetic diagnostics company in Spain) and president of Bioval (Bio Cluster of the Valencian Community). Ángela Pérez received the King Jaime I Entrepreneurship Award in 2022. She is also president of the UVEG Social Council and the ADEIT Foundation. In addition to visiting the Biohub-VLC facilities and her company, Health In Code, the students learned about Ángela Pérez's experience in entrepreneurship and business creation. The students also visited Terminal Hub, a complex of more than 5,000 m² in the Valencia Marina, which now serves as a benchmark for innovation, technology, and talent.
