Agenda
The event aims to offer a practical, approachable and useful space so that each participant leaves with greater clarity, new connections and a concrete action to keep developing their project.
HealthTech2030, Xartec Salut's annual event on innovation in healthcare technologies, devotes its 2026 edition to "the architecture of a healthier longevity". In Gaudí's commemorative year, it explores how science, technology and human-centred design can help people live longer, healthier lives.
