Last Friday, we attended Medtech Rising 2024 for the second year in a row. Medtech Rising is the leading conference and awards ceremony for the Irish MedTech industry. The daytime event brought together 34+ speakers across 9 inspiring sessions, covering the hottest topics from across the #Medtech industry. Below are some of our key takeaways from the event: 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗨 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 This panel discussion highlighted the need for simpler and streamlined EU regulatory frameworks. These reforms aim to lower costs, boost global competitiveness, and ensure patient access to cutting-edge devices. 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 As expected, #sustainability took centre stage, with discussions around eco-conscious practices in product design, manufacturing, and supply chains. The challenge? Balancing environmental responsibility with regulatory and cost considerations. 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 Innovations in (Internet of Things)#IoT-driven healthcare, including real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and data analytics, are set to redefine patient care. These technologies promise improved outcomes and a revolution in healthcare delivery. 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 #Digitisation was highlighted as vital to keeping Ireland competitive on the global MedTech stage. A strong focus was placed on adopting Industry 4.0 technologies, such as #robotics, #AI, and #automation, to enhance manufacturing efficiency. 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 Ireland remains a hub for medical device R&D, thanks to its vibrant ecosystem of startups, universities, and established companies. Collaborative efforts are fuelling the creation of next-generation technologies. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Addressing skill gaps is essential to future-proofing the industry. Strong focus was placed on training and educational partnerships to ensure Ireland’s workforce can meet the demands of a digital and innovative Medtech landscape. The evening awards program was a great celebration of industry leaders. Although we didn’t take home the award this year, it was an incredible honour to be recognised alongside such outstanding companies. Congratulations to Freudenberg Medical for their well-deserved win in the Partner/Supplier of the Year Category! We’re grateful to Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, and Irish Medtech for hosting such an impactful event. Excited to see what 2025 holds for the MedTech community! #MedtechRising2024 #MedTechInnovation #Awards #Networking

Last Friday we celebrated a momentous occasion—40 years of Lawrence Engineering! 🎉   Founded by Michael Lawrence in 1984, we’ve grown from a small toolmaking workshop beside the family home into an internationally recognised partner for leading MedTech manufacturers.   To mark this milestone, we hosted an Open Day at our Collooney contract manufacturing facility. This site, added during the COVID-19 pandemic, had never had an official opening—so the timing couldn’t have been better! A big thank you to Leo Clancy, CEO of Enterprise Ireland, who joined us for the official ribbon cutting ceremony, recognising our evolution and contributions to the industry.   It was fantastic to get all our staff today and to celebrate alongside customers, suppliers, and industry partners who have been part of our journey. We even embraced the festive spirit early, with Christmas decorations adding to the occasion's atmosphere.   A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making this event such a success.   As we reflect on the past 40 years, we’re deeply grateful to all who have been part of our journey. Your trust and collaboration have been vital to our success, and we look forward to many more years of innovation and partnership.   Here’s to the next 40 years! 🥂   #40YearsInBusiness #PrecisionEngineering #MedTech #Milestones #Teamwork
