The life sciences industry in Ireland, and particularly the medtech sector, has had some tremendous achievements, a world leader in many fields. It is also facing an accelerated pace of change across a number of fronts, regulatory changes at an international and local level, supply chain issues, rising costs and resource and talent concerns. In addition, many in the sector are managing exciting new advancements incorporating artificial intelligence, virtual reality and 3D printing to both products and manufacturing.
KPMG’s Life Sciences team combines broad technical experience with deep industry knowledge to deliver issues-based support that is both timely and relevant. With 108 partners and over 4,000 people, the firm operates from five offices located across Ireland in Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Galway.
