02. HISS - Social and Health Innovation Hubs in Catalonia
HISS has a network of key collaborators in the social and health innovation ecosystem that allows us to bring our projects closer to those stakeholders who can benefit the most and accelerate their development.
Likewise, it allows the different entities to learn about and get closer to those projects that are being developed in Catalonia and that can provide solutions to the challenges they encounter in their daily lives.
The Foundation is part of the executive committee and the steering committee of the HISS of the Terrassa Health Consortium:
Health and well-being collaboratives in Catalonia
