Ideas Factory Semi-Finalists – “Your Country Your Call” Competition
Members of the BlueBridge Technologies team have been shortlisted to the last 20 from a pool of over 9,000 entries to the “Your Country Your Call” competition
The entry “The Ideas Factory” centres on the creation of a company that will generate and commercialise the best ideas from all stakeholders within the HSE. The idea grew from the collective experience of the BlueBridge team, Dr. Roger McMorrow St. Vincent’s Hospital and Dr. Jim Robert NHS London. This team has a track record of generating IP, in one recent project for a multinational client 15 patents resulted.
The team recognised the rich source of potential within the HSE for generation of Intellectual Property but saw no clear process for harnessing and exploiting it. Their entry, if finally chosen, will result in the creation of many Irish jobs, the generation of a revenue stream for the new company and the positioning of Ireland as a world leader in the design and development of medical devices and healthcare products.
‘We have been innovating and developing new viable products for our clients for many years and we are now delighted to see this process emulated on a wider scale for the country’ commented Garret Coady, MD of BlueBridge Technologies.’ We have seen a mass of talent and energy from within the HSE which is an unexploited national resource’.
