ARC Hub for HealthTech
What is ARC Hub for HealthTech
The ARC Hub for HealthTech will operate primarily in the Life Sciences, MedTech and Medical Devices areas, which are sectors of strength in the Northern and Western region. Anchored by multinationals and indigenous companies and supported by government-funded research and infrastructural assets, Ireland’s Northern and Western Region boasts a thriving MedTech sector. Other sectors of regional strength include high-value manufacturing and ICT services.
