Innovate For Life

Ireland hosts the top players in medicines innovation, exporting to the world. In 50 years, we have built a medicines manufacturing powerhouse. The industry’s annual economic value is over €15bn. We support tens of thousands of jobs, spread across the regions. Our medicines have social and economic impact, improving life expectancy and quality of life, and adding jobs and spending power locally. Innovate For Life, a digitally powered, film-led campaign, is about bringing to life our industry’s impact and value story. Through the stories of people, we show the difference innovation in medicines can make in lives, in communities and in science.

Innovate For Vaccines

#InnovateForVaccines

From childhood to later in life, the development of vaccines has protected us from serious, and sometimes deadly, diseases. In Ireland, smallpox, rubella, polio, tuberculosis, diphtheria, pneumonia and measles used to be part of life.

Now, we don’t have to worry about them as much. Vaccination for COVID-19 is reducing serious illness and mortality, giving us a very effective weapon in the battle against the virus. With the exception of clean, safe drinking water, vaccination is among the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions ever.

The World Health Organisation estimates that vaccines save up to three million lives every year. Much of the progress we have made in human health has been enabled by vaccines. Let’s not take that for granted. Instead, we should celebrate science.

Regulation For Innovation

Translating science into treatments is a long and complex process. Safety and effectiveness are key to the regulatory journey. Regulatory tests are stringent and the process is robust. But the pace of science demands that regulators constantly evolve their processes and thinking. That way, we can have the best environment for the discovery, development and adoption of innovation.

Adopting Innovation

Innovative medicines help to raise standards of care. We want a health service that gives all patients fast access to the latest medicines across disease areas. By leveraging the best of global medical research, we can improve local care pathways. Our stakeholder partnerships, including with patient, research, policy and clinical leaders, and the coordination of cross-industry expertise are helping to shape tomorrow’s healthcare innovation landscape.
