Daniel Moreno Martinez

Creating sustainable and supportive ecosystems for entrepreneurs is both my personal and professional passion. Currently, I lead the innovation management process in northern Barcelona, particularly, in Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital, one of the mayor catalan hospitals providing high technology and complex healthcare to over 1.200.000 patients. Working in the scope of the Gerencia Territorial Metropolitana Nord, my task is to identify, nurture and grow innovative projects and initiatives arising from our healthcare professionals and activities.

I have extensive experience in business development, innovation, research and project management, marketing, communication, start-ups and STEM ecosystem development. I am not only Global Head of Marketing, Communication & Operations in Innovation Forum, but also the founder of Innovation Forum Manchester, where I was President for several years.

Interested in new technologies and in entrepreneurship through leadership and innovation, I have many years of experience working and leading international teams: I was Vice-chairman of the Young European Biotechnology Network, where I was also Chief Communication Officer and an Executive Board member. I have participated in the organisation of many scientific and outreach meetings in the UK, Germany and Spain. Overseeing and supporting more than 15 different projects in 7 different countries, I have played a key role in the strategic development, innovation and talent management in a number of companies.

I have an extensive list of scientific publications from my time as an academic in Manchester (United Kingdom), where I worked in cardiovascular research, platelet and endothelial function in the context of inflammation. Recently co-opted to join the British Society for Cardiovascular Research Executive Committee, I am working in stablishing an online presence for the society and improving its branding.
