RDI – Round Table of Companies
In 2018 Rare Diseases Ireland will establish the RDI-RTC (the Rare Diseases Ireland Round Table of Companies). The RDI-RTC will be a “club” of companies with a common interest in rare diseases and orphan products.
The RDI-RTC will provide a unique opportunity for start-up and established companies to engage with experts in the rare disease community in Ireland addressing topics of mutual patient & industry interest. Membership of the RDI-RTC will reflect your company’s leadership and commitment to the identification, treatment, and cure of rare diseases in Ireland through programs of education, advocacy, research, and service.
The RDI-RTC will provide unique opportunities for industry to engage with rare disease patient organisations to identify and prioritise challenges facing the Irish rare disease community.
