On the other, it provided first-hand knowledge of the strategy, resources and equipment of Navarra's newly created laboratory, contributing to the analysis of national synthetic biology initiatives. This exchange is part of the project coordinated by Bioval to drive an advanced bioproduction collaborative platform, <strong>Valencia Biofoundry,<\/strong> aimed at strengthening the sector's competitiveness through shared infrastructure and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Over the two working days, meetings and visits were held at key institutions and companies in the Valencian biotechnology ecosystem, including <strong>IATA-CSIC, I2SysBio<\/strong> (Institute for Integrative Systems Biology), <strong>Epidisease, Madeinplant, Evolving Therapeutics, ADM Biopolis and Health in Code.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/valenciabiofoundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Valencia_Biofoundry2_20260116131727_20260116131800.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/valenciabiofoundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Valencia_Biofoundry2_20260116131727_20260116131800.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/valenciabiofoundry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Valencia_Biofoundry2_20260116131727_20260116131800-300x150.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>A shared strategy to drive advanced biotechnology<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The visit is set within the new phase Navarra is experiencing following the launch of its <strong>Advanced Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology<\/strong> laboratories. Its aim is to identify use cases, established initiatives and collaboration opportunities with other regions. The Valencian Community was the first territory selected for this strategic exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The delegation was made up of <strong>Ion Arrizabalaga<\/strong> (Digital Innovation Hub), <strong>Antonio Pineda<\/strong> (CIMA and CCUN) and <strong>Gonzalo R. Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez<\/strong> (NASERTIC), all responsible for key areas in biomedical research, biotechnology and personalised medicine. On behalf of Bioval, Cristina Herrera, project and innovation manager, and Jes\u00fas Ag\u00fcero, cluster director, accompanied the delegation during the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The common purpose of this meeting is to <strong>generate synergies that drive joint projects, attract investment and strengthen the biotechnology sector<\/strong> of both communities. This first contact between the two regions <strong>laid the foundations for future collaboration,<\/strong> aligning shared interests in synthetic biology, translational research, digitalisation, technological infrastructure and personalised medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>Bioval as a facilitator of strategic alliances<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Thanks to this initiative, Bioval continues to strengthen its role as a <strong>key driver of the Valencian biotechnology sector,<\/strong> promoting meeting spaces that accelerate innovation, technological development and interregional collaboration.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los d\u00edas&nbsp;1 y 2 de diciembre, Bioval coordin\u00f3 y organiz\u00f3 la visita oficial de una delegaci\u00f3n del&nbsp;Polo de &nbsp;Innovaci\u00f3n Digital de Navarra (IRIS Lab), una iniciativa impulsada por el Gobierno de Navarra que recientemente ha puesto en marcha su nuevo laboratorio de experimentaci\u00f3n equipado con tecnolog\u00edas avanzadas en&nbsp;biolog\u00eda sint\u00e9tica, &nbsp;biotecnolog\u00eda y secuenciaci\u00f3n gen\u00f3mica.
