About the
Clinical Trials Summit
The Clinical Trials Summit 2026 will convene senior decision‑makers from across research, regulation, industry, and the health system to accelerate Ireland’s role in global clinical research. For Ireland, the Summit represents a pivotal opportunity to strengthen its position as a high‑quality, high‑trust clinical trials destination, attract new investment, expand national research capacity, and embed patient‑focused innovation across care pathways.
At a recent Investnet gathering, the Minister for Health identified Clinical Trials as an area of significant untapped potential for Ireland — a sector capable of delivering economic value, faster access to innovation, and improved outcomes for patients. Building on that momentum, this Summit will explore the barriers, enablers, and strategic choices required to realise that potential at scale.

The Clinical Trials Summit is designed for senior leaders, decision‑makers, and practitioners involved in clinical research and healthcare innovation. This includes professionals from pharmaceutical and medtech companies, CROs, academic and research institutions, healthcare providers, regulators, policymakers, and patient advocacy organisations. The Summit is particularly relevant for those shaping strategy, infrastructure, partnerships, and policy within Ireland’s clinical trials and research ecosystem.
