Ireland’s tech ecosystem was strongly represented at the Las Vegas event, with start-ups making ground-breaking announcements, securing major awards and contributing to high-profile discussions.
Enterprise Ireland hosted a reception for clients, venture capitalists, Fortune Global 500 leaders and buyers, letting Irish companies showcase excellence in femtech, medtech, consumer and food tech.
Their success reinforced Ireland’s growing reputation as a leader in user-centric innovations and spotlighted some of Ireland’s leading women entrepreneurs as global tech challengers.
A major highlight was Irish femtech company Peri, which officially began taking orders for its purpose-built wearable for perimenopause management.
Co-founders Heidi Davis and Donal O’Gorman announced the milestone at CES after five years of R&D.
