The Ian Quinn Centre for Health Technology Innovation was officially launched at the University campus in May 2024. The centre is named in honour of the late Ian Quinn who was central in establishing Galway as a global MedTech hub and played a pivotal role in the foundation of BioInnovate.  

The centre builds on the success of the BioInnovate programme and the wider MedTech and digital health community by providing co-working space, mentorship and global connections to emerging start-ups, as well as being a venue for industry, clinicians and campus-based innovators to come together and accelerate health technologies. 

Mission  

Encompassing the world-leading BioInnovate Ireland training programme, the Ian Quinn Centre aims to bring together entrepreneurs, academics, and an international network of clinicians and industry experts within the optimal MedTech and Digital Health Innovation space to drive new solutions to unmet healthcare needs.
