THE BIG PITCH 12 | Republic of Ireland “The three Clinical Entrepreneurs appointed from the Republic of Ireland were winners of the Health Innovation Hub Ireland’s Clinical Innovation Award programme 2022. They received funding from Enterprise Ireland to explore the commercial opportunity of their innovative projects to solve unmet needs in healthcare at a global scale. In addition to this, and to best support the development of Irish Clinical Entrepreneurs, the Irish government through the Department of Health, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Enterprise Ireland, and the Health Service Executive have partnered with the Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. This opportunity afforded to the Irish representatives on the CEP will expedite their product and commercial development through world leading training, access to investors and commercial experts, and to grow an exceptional network of peer entrepreneurs, and business and clinical leaders. It is important that solutions developed by those who know and deal with the problems on a daily basis are given the best opportunity to succeed and deliver novel treatments to those who need them most.” Dr Steven Griffin Clinical Innovation Programme Manager Health Innovation Hub Ireland Dr Tanya Mulcahy National Director Health Innovation Hub Ireland https://hih.ie/ At a time of unprecedented strain within the NHS, meeting up with like-minded individuals who are attempting to tackle the challenges they face in their working lives through innovation and imagination, the programme has been highly restorative.
