Today, we’re joined by Richard Meehan, CEO of Velico, the Boston-founded medtech company that has established its international headquarters in Ireland and is developing a groundbreaking dry plasma manufacturing system that could transform emergency trauma care around the world.

From ambulances and military operations to mass casualty response, Velico’s technology enables blood centres to produce spray-dried plasma that can be rehydrated within minutes when every second counts.

With recent support from the French military—a global leader in dried plasma production—the company is gaining international recognition for its innovative approach.

In this episode, Richard shares his journey from leadership roles across FMCG, real estate and ICT into the fast-moving world of MedTech, discusses the challenges and opportunities of scaling a healthcare technology company internationally, and explains why Ireland is playing a central role in Velico’s global growth strategy.
