Medtech Rising is a two-day event which has become one of the largest of its kind for
senior medtech professionals in Ireland.

Medtech is all about innovation, and this year we are focusing so many sessions around
this theme. From understanding how value-based health impacts innovation, to hearing
the latest trends in AI, 3D and robotics in surgery from global physicians. As well as
understanding how to engage in the Irish innovation ecosystem to attract and build
R&D capability here.

We will have lots of innovative companies talking about their R&D strategies from a
product portfolio, clinical engagment and collaboration perspectives. We will also hear
how new business models, partnerships, and surgical solutions by tech firms will
change the dynamics of the conventional medical device treatment world.

Finally, we would like to thank the organising committee, speakers and sponsors
– and, of course, we hope to see you there.

Session 6
Trade Wars, Brexit and the evolution of the
global political and economic landscape:
How Ireland is responding and what it
means for your business
Half of Irish Medtech Association member companies said Brexit is expected to lead
to greater customs cost and skills shortages and one in four medtech companies
identified UK-EU regulatory divergence as a risk. Further afield fears remain that tariffs
imposed on steel and aluminium will lead to serious effects on medtech and may lead
to a trade war with the EU. Leaders will offer advice on how businesses can prepare to
compete in the face of this political and economic uncertainty.

     and Public Affairs, Ibec

industry undergoes rapid transformation with new trends, in finding strategic partners,
managing global supply chains and M&As and VC funding, shaking up markets to drive
medtech growth. The medtech industry is now worth €475 billion globally but tapping
into the potential for future growth will mean embracing new business models, join us
to get leaders’ insights on this and more.

single sector value of €2 trillion driving personalised care for empowered patients.

ICT companies and nine of the world’s top 10 pharma companies based here,
Ireland is uniquely placed to be a world leader connected health. We will hear how

Investment strategies for medtech:
The power of value in fundraising,
what VCs are looking for and personal
insights from both seasoned and
early stage entrepreneurs

data. Companies that execute a sound reimbursement and commercialisation strategy
are finding investment to succeed. Hear where venture funding is being invested, the
