University of Galway

University of Galway is a comprehensive public research university on Ireland’s Atlantic coast, combining academic breadth with a strongly applied, partnership‑driven culture. Its integration with University Hospital Galway and the Saolta University Health Care Group gives companies access to clinicians, patients and trial infrastructure for timely translation. For industry, an Innovation Office and an Institute for Clinical Trials offer clear entry points for collaboration, IP and contracting, while proximity to Galway’s medtech hub supports rapid prototyping and validation. Research is supported by competitive national and European programmes, including Science Foundation Ireland and EU funding. A dedicated technology transfer office streamlines IP, licensing and startup formation.
