Funding of almost €7m has been announced for a major medtech project involving two Galway firms.
The funding has been released under the latest call of the Government's Technologies Innovation Fund.
The project is called Solascope - and city-based Tympany Medical and Inverin-based Invermed Teoranta are part of a consortium behind it.
It's creating a revolutionary new sterile and self-cleaning surgical endoscope to improve outcomes of minimally invasive procedures.
