With the launch of the technology hub, Aetion plans to more than double the size of its engineering team in Spain. The goal is to attract top technical talent locally and from across Europe. The Barcelona team will collaborate across Aetion’s product suite, enhancing existing offerings and pushing the boundaries of RWE technology.

Researchers can delve into a wide range of research questions, from disease burden assessments to real-world value evaluations. Aetion Discover empowers clients to generate insights rapidly and at scale, revolutionizing evidence-based decision-making.
