Showcasing routes to market for digital health companies in Ireland and Scotland, and collaboration/partnership opportunities
In recent years, there has been a shared theme in the Irish and Scottish healthcare systems: a movement away from hospital-based care to home-based care. In response, digital health ecosystems in Ireland and Scotland have grown rapidly, bringing a wealth of innovative technologies to their respective markets. In recognition of the shared challenges and opportunities that both nations face, several cross-border policies have been introduced which aim to formalise Irish and Scottish collaboration, including the Ireland-Scotland Health Partnership 2019 and the Bilateral Review 2021.
The Connected Health & Wellbeing Cluster, Scottish Development International, and the Digital Health Industries Cluster are hosting an online ‘Digital Health Huddle’ on 22nd June to encourage and support collaboration and expansion by scaling scaling digital health companies.
