Medtech Rising



OVERVIEWThe Irish Medtech Association, Enterprise Ireland, and IDA Ireland are proud to announce the 14th annual Irish Medtech Excellence Awards. There are over 450 medtech companies operating in Ireland which employ 40,000 people. We want to recognise your achievements and reward your performance which makes Ireland one of the best places in the world for medtech. Irish Medtech Association/Ibec, Enterprise Ireland, and IDA would like to invite all their members and client companies to submit an application for the Irish Medtech Excellence Awards 2020. Women in Leadership Company Initiative Award 2020Research from Ibec shows real progress in female participation rates in management rising from 8% to 16% from 2001 to 2018. The funnelling of men and women into gendered roles sometimes contributes to the gender pay gap, reinforce gender stereotypes and impact men and women’s access to particular jobs. While there were very high levels of female participation at Head of Function level in HR/ Personnel (72%), Customer services (53%) and Finance/Accounting (39%) in 2018, the level for Manufacturing actually dropped from 15% in 2001 to 3% in 2018 and there was a modest improvement for Engineering from 5% in 2001 to 6% in 2018. The Ibec Medtech and Engineering Leadership Development Taskforce was established in 2017 to tackle this issue. The group’s vision is to increase the number of women working in medtech, pharmaceutical, polymer technology, and engineering industries in Ireland and progressing into leadership. The inaugural Women in Leadership Company Initiative Award will recognise companies that actively take steps in a dedicated initiative to increase the number of women in these sectors and rising to leadership positions.
