“P-BIO Pledge 4 COVID” has the aim of stimulating the participation of Portuguese startups in the Bioindustry area in the global cooperation initiative launched on the 24th of April: “Global Response to COVID-19”. This attracted at least EUR 7,5 billion to invest in the areas of diagnostics, therapies/treatments, and the development of vaccines.

Due to this, Portuguese start-ups have answered positively, presenting various solutions (vaccine, diagnostics, therapies and medical devices) to face COVID-19. P-BIO has created an infographic that resumes this information and it’s available online. [See infographic]

 

In the aim of “P-BIO Pledge 4 COVID”, two events were also promoted (in Lisbon and Matosinhos) where these Bio start-ups presented their solutions.
