“With The Digital Hub we have created an event for Start Up Week that offers instant access to the expertise required to make home grown connected health solutions successful.

“A significant percentage of the companies that work nationally in HIHI are Irish connected health solutions. This reflects the global shift towards personalised preventative healthcare and where we see the most potential for cost savings in healthcare.”

“The Digital Hub is delighted to be supporting Startup Week Dublin 2019 with TCD Health Innovation Hub to bring connected health entrepreneurs and experts from Irish Tech and Health ecosystem together.

At The Digital Hub, ten per cent of our enterprise cluster is now comprised of healthtech companies. Our ambition is to continue to grow this sub-sector and to create and provide a supportive and collaborative environment for the benefit of companies already located or looking to move to The Digital Hub.”
