Irish Medtech Sector Continuing to Innovate

“Ireland – a small country with a strong economy where collaboration and values matter,” said Pierre Chauvineau, vice-president at Boston Scientific, speaking at the 12th annual Med in Ireland event last month.

Ireland has emerged as one of the world’s top five medical technology hubs over the last 20 years.
