What WeMind Cluster does

WeMind Cluster (legal name: Associació Cluster de Salut Mental de Catalunya, NIF G66001876) is a non-profit innovation cluster headquartered at the Palau de Marianao in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona. It organises a quadruple-helix ecosystem of more than 90 member companies, universities, healthcare providers and public bodies around three strategic areas — mental health, neurosciences, and ageing/longevity — and serves as the convening infrastructure for applied R&D, business development, training and internationalisation in the Catalan mental-health sector. Its operating model combines recurring membership subscriptions (Fes-te soci), public-project funding (predominantly from ACCIÓ, AEI, RIS3CAT and EU programmes such as SUDOE and Horizon Europe), MindExcellence training revenue, and consortium participation fees.

Its core platform stack is anchored by the Care & Autonomy Living Lab (CALL), a co-creation environment running Living Lab Days across ASD, ageing, cognitive impairment, assistive robotics and depression; MindSyst, a sovereign data-sharing platform for mental-health, ageing and neuroscience data built to Gaia-X standards with AI-based analysis; and MindExcellence, an online training marketplace and virtual campus offering clinical-competence and emotional-wellbeing courses. Complementary assets include the Brains Journal publication, the WeMind International Forum, and an active R&D project pipeline (Robocat, MATCHMIND, HabitatCare, Brain Bio Food, PRODISFAG, EudaimonIA, Brain's Metaverse). The cluster is Gold Label accredited by the European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis, accredited by ACCIÓ (Government of Catalonia), and a member of the Asociación Española de Clusters (AEI). Recent strategic activity centres on the 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, the MATCHMIND clinical-AI project, ongoing international missions (Denmark 2018, Sweden 2026), and the addition of member organisations such as CC Addiccions and Qualia Estudio.

Revenue model

1. Cluster membership fees: Recurring revenue from members ('Fes-te soci') joining the WeMind Cluster ecosystem to access networking, project participation, training, and visibility.
2. Public project funding and grants: Receives public subsidies (e.g., ACCIÓ, AEI 'Ajudes', EU funds, RIS3CAT) to finance innovation projects such as Robocat, HabitatCare, MindSyst, Brain Bio Food, and Biomass, with documented aid amounts (e.g., €63,390.74 for MindExcellence, €32,887.70 for InMens, €15,193.51 for Brain Bio Food).
3. Training platform services (MindExcellence): Provides clinical and emotional wellbeing training courses through the MindExcellence marketplace and virtual campus, leveraging content from member organisations.
4. Project consortium co-development: Acts as consortium partner in collaborative R&D projects (AEI grants, SUDOE, Horizon Europe partnership calls) with named co-beneficiaries, generating service-style revenue for coordination and participation.

Core offering

WeMind Cluster is a non-profit innovation cluster that promotes economic activity in mental health, neuroscience and ageing through a quadruple-helix model connecting industry, academia, government and civil society. It delivers its mission via a stack of owned platforms — the Care & Autonomy Living Lab (CALL), MindExcellence training marketplace, MindSyst data platform, Revista Brains publication, and the WeMind International Forum — and by coordinating collaborative R&D projects that channel public and private funding to its member organisations.

Product overview

WeMind Cluster operates a platform-plus-modules architecture organised around three strategic areas (WeMind Salut Mental, WeMind Neuro, and WeMind Longevitat) supported by a core innovation centre located at Palau de Marianao in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona. The flagship operational product is the Care & Autonomy Living Lab (CALL), a holistic co-creation space that drives the cluster's Living Lab Days, usability testing, and project pipeline (including Robocat, EudaimonIA, MATCHMIND, and MindSyst). Complementary modules include the MindExcellence training platform, the Brains Journal publication, the MindSyst data/AI platform, the WeMind International Forum, and project-based initiatives such as MATCHMIND, ContigoCARE, Brain's Metaverse, HabitatCare, and PRODISFAG — all channelled through the cluster's partnership, funding, and inter-cluster collaboration programmes.

Direct peers

• Biocat: Catalan biotech and health innovation cluster based in Barcelona, driving the BioRegion. Directly comparable as a Catalan ACCIÓ-accredited cluster operating a member-based, quadruple-helix model across healthcare, life sciences and digital health — overlapping with WeMind's mental-health and neuroscience mandate and competing for the same Catalan/Spanish public funding pool.
• Fundació TIC Salut Social (TIC Salut): Catalan government foundation driving digital health transformation and the Digital Health Platform. Directly comparable as a Catalan public-backed health-innovation intermediary promoting data platforms, member services and project consortia — closely overlapping with WeMind's MindSyst data platform and CALL Living Lab activities.
• Welfare Tech (Denmark): Danish health and welfare technology cluster, partnered with WeMind on the DEMTECH dementia-technology inter-cluster project. Directly comparable as a national health-tech cluster running member services, Living Lab activities and international SME matchmaking — a benchmark peer given the documented bilateral collaboration.
• Basque Health Cluster: Spanish health-industry cluster in the Basque Country, member of AEI clusters and ACCIÓ-style government-backed network. Directly comparable as a regional Spanish health cluster competing for similar ACCIÓ/AEI grants and pursuing Living Lab and internationalisation strategies analogous to WeMind's CALL and Sweden mission.
• CataloniaBio & HealthTech: Catalan association of companies in the biomedicine, medical technologies, digital health and food-nutrition sectors. Directly comparable as a Barcelona-based health-innovation association with a member-driven model — and a documented co-participant with WeMind on the Brain Bio Food nutrigenomics project.
• Clúster Biomassa de Catalunya: Catalan cluster for the biomass value chain and a documented WeMind inter-cluster partner (Biomass & Mental Health labour-insertion project). Comparable as a Catalan ACCIÓ-accredited cluster with the same quadruple-helix and member-based model — a benchmark peer on cross-sector collaboration rather than direct subject-matter overlap.
• Food Nutrition Cluster (Catalonia): Catalan food-and-nutrition innovation cluster, co-participant with WeMind on the Brain Bio Food nutrigenomics and pre/probiotic project. Comparable as a Catalan ACCIÓ-accredited innovation cluster using the same quadruple-helix model and project-consortium economics — illustrating WeMind's typical cross-cluster collaboration pattern.

Broad incumbents

• EIT Health: Large European Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) focused on health, co-funded by Horizon Europe. Comparable as a much larger pan-EU health-innovation intermediary running consortium projects, training programmes and Living Labs — serving as a higher-tier, broader-scope counterpart to WeMind's regional cluster model.
• Mental Health Europe: European non-profit umbrella organisation advocating for mental health policy and rights across Europe. Comparable as a larger, Brussels-based, pan-European non-profit working in the same mental-health field with a member-association model — though more policy- and rights-oriented than WeMind's innovation-economic focus.
• European Brain Council: Brussels-based non-profit coordinating European neuroscience, neurology and mental-health stakeholder organisations. Comparable as a higher-tier, pan-European non-profit serving as the convening body across brain-research and mental-health actors — overlapping with WeMind's WeMind Neuro strategic area but operating at EU rather than regional scale.
