The Irish government has identified the medical technology sector as one of the key drivers of industrial growth for the future and provides a wide range of supports to encourage and foster this growth. The medical technology industry in Ireland is changing from being prominently manufacturing to being more complex and driven by R&D. It now involves intensive collaboration between a broad range of partners, including research institutions, clinicians, manufacturing companies and government agencies.
There are currently 250 medical technology companies in Ireland, exporting €8bn worth of product annually and employing 25,000 people – the highest number of people working in the industry in any country in Europe, per head of population. This year exports of medical devices and diagnostics products will represent 8.5% of Ireland’s total merchandise exports.
Many of the world’s top medical technology companies have invested significantly in Ireland and a number of exciting, research-based, indigenous companies are emerging and competing internationally.
