Launch of All-Island Oncology Industry Report

Today, 24th April 2024, Conor Murphy, Minister for the Economy, Northern Ireland and Dara Calleary, Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation in Ireland will jointly launch the All-Island Oncology Industry Report at a workshop in Dublin. This comprehensive report captures the current oncology and allied digital health industry landscape, and highlights the transformative economic impact that a well-functioning oncology and digital health ecosystem could have on the island of Ireland.

The report predicts the economic benefit that can be delivered in oncology and allied digital health, by fostering an ecosystem that is underpinned by research and innovation in these two prominent and inter-related sectors. 

The report recommends the creation of an All-Island Oncology Innovation Cluster that would fast-track the delivery of new business opportunities at the academia-industry intersect, foster all-island and international collaboration, create high value jobs and attract investment including venture capital, across the island of Ireland.

This report was supported via generous funding from InterTradeIreland under their Synergy Programme. Salutem Insights was commissioned by AICRI to conduct a study to evaluate the current landscape and economic potential of oncology and allied digital health on the island of Ireland, examining this landscape through an all island and cross-border lens, to illuminate opportunities to increase trade and research and development (R&D) across the island.
