We capped off an incredible day at #MedtechRising with a memorable evening at the Irish Medtech Awards and Black-Tie Dinner. Anton Savage seamlessly continued his hosting duties, while Eoghan Ó Faoláin brought the event to a close on a high note. A special highlight of the night was celebrating our colleague Sinead Keogh, who received the well-deserved Outstanding Contribution to Medtech Award. A huge congratulations to all the winners and nominees—it’s inspiring to see such remarkable talent driving innovation in our industry. We enjoyed the night with our Irish Medtech Skillnet and Manufacturing Engineering Apprenticeships colleagues. Thank you to the team at Irish Medtech for putting together such an extraordinary event. Here’s to another year of progress and collaboration in Medtech!

Eoghan Ó Faoláin from Irish Medtech opened the event, setting the stage for a dynamic discussion featuring Pádhraic McGinn, CEO, Mergon Group, Jacqueline Henderson, President EMEA, Johnson & Johnson and Fionn Lahart, Co-Founder and CEO, LUMA Vision.
