As a small nation (a population of just over 1.8 million) with a celebrated industrial heritage, Northern Ireland isn’t a place you might immediately associate with technological discovery. Indeed, it is the strength of these facilities’ collaboration with industry that lends Northern Ireland its competitive edge. Taking this feedback on-board, the Health Innovation Research Alliance Northern Ireland (HIRANI) was launched in 2019 to supercharge collaboration. Further to this, Invest Northern Ireland also provides businesses with a range of services to help set-up, innovate and grow. Northern Ireland is fast becoming a health tech hub of global importance and our ambitions show no signs of waning.
