eg technology launch EU office as they partner with Galway-based PorterShed

September 3, 2024

Product design, engineering and development consultancy, eg technology is pleased to announce our partnership with PorterShed in Galway, Ireland, as we open our first office directly servicing the EU market.

Founded in 2002, eg technology have been bridging the gap between innovation and market-ready products for 22 years from our bespoke facilities in Cambridge. However, as global demand for our services has increased, there is an opportunity to expand our offering, further facilitating delivery of client projects to the Irish, European and US markets.

The PorterShed, funded by Enterprise Ireland, is a co-working space for ambitious tech start-ups and scaling companies. Dedicated to the creation of high value sustainable jobs in the West of Ireland’s Tech sector, they are a showcase for Galway’s tech startup scene. Described as a ‘collision space for creatives and innovators’, their state-of-the-art facilities in Galway offer a collaborative space for the 60 companies and 300 members who are part of the PorterShed community. With regular tech meetups, hackathons, pitch days and networking events, the PorterShed is home to an integrated and connected network of entrepreneurs, who are part of the bustling tech ecosystem.

Commenting on the partnership, eg director, Rouzet Agaiby, said:
“Our partnership with PorterShed has been a very natural choice for us. They are home to a highly connected network of Irish, European & American tech professionals, with whom we are looking forward to building strong connections and partnerships. eg has experienced fantastic organic growth over the past few years and as a dynamic company whose client base continues to grow in Ireland and Europe, it was an obvious decision to launch a Galway-based office to facilitate closer integration with clients and partners. We are confident that this expansion will go a long way in reducing the many barriers experienced by start-ups navigating the requirements of FDA and MDR certification and their subsequent delivery to Irish, EU and American markets.

It is exciting to share our expertise and to further integrate into an ever-evolving tech-market; as such, we will be building a team in Galway and would invite candidates to explore our career options.”

Rosemary Gallagher, Programme Manager at PorterShed said:
“It is a pleasure to welcome eg technology to the PorterShed community. Their expertise and experience in product design, engineering and development will not only be highly beneficial to our existing members but will also be a welcomed and complimentary addition to our rich, innovative and growing MedTech ecosystem
in Ireland”.

We are looking for a business development manager to champion eg and drive business forward in Ireland.
