Governor Cox reported on October 23 that Utah and Galway maintain strong ties within the medical technology industry. During a trade mission to Ireland, officials observed these connections firsthand.
The trade mission included a visit to Utah-based Merit Medical, which is celebrating 30 years in Galway and employs more than 1,000 people in that location.
Additionally, the mission visited Medtronic, which utilizes medical technology developed by Scientia Vascular, a company based in Salt Lake City, to assist in the treatment of aneurysms and strokes.
According to Governor Cox, both companies are assisting in bringing medical technologies developed in Utah to patients globally. The mission aims to strengthen these connections and create more opportunities for Utah businesses.
