The MITEF Spain Jury has reached this decision considering their business model, technology, market potential and evolution, and the team itself.They have developed a technology that is capable of sequencing RNA, from a small blood sample, and associating the expression of genes in more than 320 metabolic pathways that act as biomarkers of the parameters of the individual's body, analyzing all those variations that are out of the ordinary to improve and prevent health problems.

Share4Rare is a system in which patients with a diagnosis can interact, communicate, and share knowledge with other users sharing the same diagnosis. It will also bridge the user to the most relevant patient organizations according to its disease. The question for Share4Rare is whether the platform could benefit the undiagnosed populations by exploiting its AI-based design. This design aims to foster the knowledge on rare diseases through collaborative intelligence built on equity principles.

TECNIO is the accreditation granted by the Generalitat of Catalonia through ACCIÓ to identify and give visibility to the technology developers of the R&D&I system of Catalonia. This should help to encourage the activity of the Catalan technology market among technology generators, buyers, facilitators, and other collaborators in the process, such as consultants and business schools.

This project pursues improving the following objectives: (1) identifying the existing technologies; (2) reinforcing the visibility and external projection of R&D&I in health-technologies in Catalonia and their international alliances; (3) setting up an environment of excellence that encourages attraction and catalyzes talent; (4) contributing to the diversification and hybridization of technologies within the medical field; (5) promoting cooperation; (6) becoming a technological observatory to detect trends and opportunities of the health sector; (7) creating the mechanisms for the promotion and valorization of the Catalan health technologies; (8) providing a customized support to research groups in order to validate, push and launch their technologies into the market.
