Neurent Medical to create 125 jobs in Galway
Healthcare company Neurent Medical is to create 125 new highly skilled jobs in Galway over the next three years.
The announcement comes as the company officially opened its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at Westlink Commercial Park in Oranmore.
The new facility will serve as the central hub for the production of the company's Neuromark system, a treatment option designed to target the underlying drivers of chronic Rhinitis.
The new Galway jobs will range across key functions in engineering, quality control, operations, supply chain management, and sales and marketing.
Originating from the Enterprise Ireland-supported BioInnovate Ireland Programme, Neurent Medical has grown from concept to commercialisation within a decade, emerging as one of the country's MedTech success stories.
Since its inception, it said it has leveraged Galway's world-class innovation ecosystem to scale its team, secure FDA regulatory clearances and attract top international clinical collaborators.
Brian Shields, CEO of Neurent Medical, said the company was proud to scale its operations in Galway, where the MedTech ecosystem continues to thrive.
"Our new Westlink facility gives us the manufacturing capacity to meet growing demand for Neuromark, while creating high skilled employment opportunities and contributing to economic vitality in the west of Ireland," he said.
"As an Irish-founded company, we're excited to manufacture our product locally with the exceptional skills available and deliver Irish-engineered MedTech innovation to the world," he added.
Jenny Melia, Executive Director and incoming CEO at Enterprise Ireland, said today's announcement of new jobs based here in Oranmore shows that Ireland is leading in research and development within the medical device space.
"Neurent Medical has experienced impressive growth in a short period of time beginning its journey through the BioInnovate Ireland Programme here in Galway with further support awarded through EI's Commercialisation fund programme and through the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund administered by Enterprise Ireland for the development of the Neuromark technology," she said.
"Supporting Irish companies with the ambition to scale globally is a key priority for Enterprise Ireland and we will continue to work closely with Brian and the team at Neurent Medical to optimise their full international growth potential, creating and sustaining jobs here in the Galway region," she added.
Hildegarde Naughton, Minister of State at the Department of Children, Disability and Equality, noted that Galway is home to eight of the world's top 10 MedTech companies.
"It is also highly notable that this is an Irish company, supported by Enterprise Ireland, and selling into the US market. I have no doubt, given their impressive growth to date, that this will be but one of many major achievements for the company," she added.

Colin Sheridan: A reflection on the Irish sporting landscape in the summer of 2000
A quarter of a century ago, in the summer of 2000, the Irish sporting landscape was a bit of a desert. The odd oasis gave hope of the better tomorrows that would come, but, with an Olympic Games in Sydney offering the chance of, perhaps, two medals at best, we are talking about times of great austerity, which is ironic, because it was right about then that Irish banks started doling out credit cards like communion wafers.

Port of Cork set to open €100m deepwater berth dedicated to offshore energy development
The Port of Cork is poised to become the first port in the Republic to deliver dedicated quay facilities for the offshore renewable energy sector through a new €100m development. The 200-metre long CORE1 (Cork Offshore Renewable Energy 1) deepwater berth at Ringaskiddy East will be ready for use by October, port officials have said. It will have the length, depth, and load-bearing capacities required by companies that will build the large-scale offshore wind farms proposed for the Irish and Celtic seas. However, the Port of Cork Company has said it will need additional land and funding to provide the full range of dedicated quayside facilities that the sector requires if it is to help Ireland achieve its ambitious targets to create at least 37GW of offshore renewable energy generation capacity by 2050 — about six times our current peak electricity demand. The port company set out its progress on offshore renewable energy infrastructure for EU Commissioner Michael McGrath and his officials during a visit to the CORE1 project, which is being co-financed by the EU to the tune of some €38m. 'It would not have happened without a grant from the EU,' the port's commercial officer Conor Mowlds said. 'But there are challenges facing the port now after handing over 30-acres for offshore renewable energy (ORE). "However, Cork has the potential to become the centre of gravity to support Ireland's ORE sector — similar to what happened to Aberdeen during the North Sea oil boom.' Mr McGrath said that, given the scale of EU funding involved, he wanted to see the project first-hand and be briefed on where it fits within the Port of Cork's overall capital development ambitions. 'They have very ambitious plans for the years ahead, which will have to be brought forward in a phased manner and will require extensive consultation with the local community, statutory processes will have to be followed, and then funding packages put together," he said.
