The Ireland Opportunity –
The Perfect Storm
• Currently no Global Centre of excellence in
this area
•Entry point now for at least 20 years of
technology development
• Currently a “pilot here, a pilot there” piece
meal. No joining of the dots.
• Anchor of Pharma, Medical, Mfg and
Food/Livestock in Ireland
• Size of country is perfect for ‘National Pilots
and Collaboration

The Drugs Counterfeiting Problem
• Counterfeit Drugs is $40Bn problem. 40% drugs
fake.
• Greater than 60% Internet drugs estimated
counterfeit.
• 100,000 deaths annually in China
• Problem is growing exponentially
• High Value drugs targeted – Chemo, Heart and
Depression
• EU problem of borders, selling and reselling on
• Bedside Medication errors - 13.5% mortality rate

Next Steps – Some Ideas
• Form a national forum to define and oversee research in this area.
Consists of academia, MNCs, SMEs, Govt etc
• Area of remit is Business Oriented i.e. trade, customs, legal, social,
privacy etc
• Collaborate with GTRI and Research Centre in Athlone
• This group would be the central point of all major academic research
and commercial output in this area and unify academic efforts as much
as possible.
• Much work to be done on emerging markets and colloborations
(China, India etc)
Possible Mission Statement
To establish Ireland as a world thought leader in global supply chain
management through research, solutions development and innovative
and early adoption of new business and technological opportunities.
