Medical Technologies activities include Research &Development, High Value Manufacturing, Globally Traded Services, IP Management and Supply Chain Management in the cardiovascular and cardiac rhythm management, orthopaedic, diagnostic and ophthalmic sectors.

With its focus on high value activities this sector fits well with the IDA Ireland transformation policy of moving Ireland up the value chain, including companies who have existing operations in Ireland and potential new investors.

This variety of activities is testament to a flexible, skilled and adaptable workforce and ensures many companies expand their activities beyond their initial presence.
