Medtech comes to Galway Racecourse

More than 150 exhibitors will head to  the Galway Racecourse at Balybritt, September 27-28, 2017 for Medical Technology Ireland.

In addition to trade stands, conference speakers including Simon Coveney, minister for foreign affairs and trade, and Maurice O’Gorman, president of the Galway chamber of commerce will address regulatory matters.

Other topics will include commercialising products, and the impact of Brexit.

Maurice O’Gorman is the president of the Galway Chamber of Commerce and supports the effort to grow the industry here.

“Ireland already boasts the leading luster of MedTech industries, employing the highest number percapita of Medical Technology personnel in Europe, and Galway is its hub. They are attracted here by the  talented, educated workforce, the quality of life, and the low cost environment. Galway offers an attractive alternative to large cities for mobile foreign investment projects.”

Three floors of the Galway Racecourse at Ballybrit will showcase the most recent international developments in medical technology. The location also offers attendees easy access to high profile companies including Medtronic, Creganna and Boston Scientific.

“We have a great lineup of speakers to address the issues, and a great expanse of exhibitors to share their wares,” said Tom Burke with Medical Technology Ireland. “This field is established, yet continuing to grow. Ireland is the right place for it and this is the right time to build it.”
