I had an email conversation last week with one of our readers here who is looking for employment in the medTech field. His situation requires him to find a work permit/sponsorship opportunity. I shared with him some relevant links, namely a WAy to find medTech companies in Ireland. Others may find this information useful, so here's the link to the IDA Ireland page where you can find an alphabetical List of companies operating in Ireland That page also includes Listings of companies in other industries (Internet, Financial Services, Bio Pharmacy, etc) whe ...
