The EMA (European Medicines Agency) which is the EU regulator of the pharmaceutical, bio-pharmaceutical and medical device sector currently has its head offices for all of Europe in London. Following the vote on Brexit, and once the UK follows through on leaving the EU, the EMA will have to fine a new home for it’s HQ in a European country. Ireland may be well placed to become home to the new HQ due to the size of the sector in the country. We’ll have to watch and wait for now.
