The Minister for Industry and for Ecological and Digital Business Transition, Mikel Irujo, recently highlighted the “infinite potential of Navarra as a leading biotechnology region” during the strategic SIBERIA event held at Navarra’s IRIS Innovation Hub.
With an ecosystem that already brings together thousands of jobs in health, R&D&I and care services — around 31,500 in the region — and private sector turnover approaching €3 billion, Irujo pointed out that Navarra “doubles the European average in biotechnology specialisation.”
The Minister explained that this position provides a solid foundation to move forward with the business plan for synthetic biology, BioSintNA, which aims to consolidate Navarra as a European gateway to synthetic biology.
A competitive environment for biotechnology investment
Navarra offers an environment that combines scientific talent, specialised infrastructure and strong institutional support, making it a strategic location for companies and projects in the sector. The event brought together more than 60 professionals from technology centres, universities, public administrations and biotech companies, who explored innovative applications of biotechnology in health, food and energy.
