News & Agenda

i4KIDS has completed its first season of collaboration with RNE's Cuídate programme, featuring nine episodes focused on paediatric and foetal health innovation. The series brought together healthcare professionals, researchers and innovators to discuss advances in areas such as rare diseases, paediatric haematology, prematurity, neurodevelopment, congenital heart disease and paediatric palliative care.

Applications Now Open for CRAASH Barcelona and DKV Challenge 2026 with i4KIDS as a Strategic Partner
i4KIDS is reinforcing its commitment to innovation in paediatric, fetal and maternal health by collaborating in two strategic initiatives currently open for applications: CRAASH Barcelona 2026 and DKV Challenge 2026. Both programmes offer new opportunities for startups and innovative projects seeking to accelerate the development, validation and adoption of solutions with an impact on maternal and child health.

i4KIDS and Catalonia.Health brought together startup leaders, researchers and healthcare professionals to discuss funding, regulatory strategy and international growth. The session featured Gisela Lorente (Aptadel Therapeutics), Marc Martinell (Minoryx Therapeutics) and Stefanos Theoharis (OneChain Immunotherapeutics), highlighting Barcelona's growing role as a leading hub for paediatric health innovation.
