The third episode of The Leaders’ Room explores the trends in the world of medtech and how the evolution of AI will affect it.

The Leaders’ Room podcast features interviews with the country managers of some of Ireland’s leading sci-tech multinationals. It was created in partnership with IDA Ireland.
