MedTech Accelerator Fund
The Medical Technology sector is now one of the top performing sectors in the Irish economy. At Bank of Ireland we understand the financial challenges that developing Med Tech companies can face. That’s why we’ve established the €10m MedTech Accelerator Fund as part of the Seed and Early Stage Equity Fund, which is managed by Kernel Capital on behalf of Bank of Ireland.
Who is eligible?
Bank of Ireland’s €10m MedTech Accelerator Fund is Ireland’s first Seed Fund to focus exclusively on the indigenous Medical Technology sector.

- Medical Devices

So, if you’re looking to expand or develop your business activities, want to introduce innovations or new technologies into your company, or are seeking to fund R&D or acquire a new technology and have the potential to export, then this fund could be the financial support you’re looking for*.
