Hooke Bio was delighted to take part in Scale Ireland’s recent “Frank Talk with Founders” event at AIB Headquarters in Dublin on 9th June 2026. Co-Founder and COO, Dr. Finola Cliffe, joined an outstanding panel of Irish entrepreneurs, including Donal O’Shea (Founder & CEO, Deciphex), Aidan O’Neill (Founder & CEO, DOCOsoft), and Dara Meldrum (Founder & CSO, Vertigenius™), to discuss the realities of building and scaling innovative companies in Ireland.
The event provided a valuable opportunity to share experiences, discuss the challenges and opportunities facing high-growth startups, and contribute to conversations on strengthening Ireland’s innovation ecosystem.
A sincere thank you to Scale Ireland for hosting such an engaging event, to the sponsors Goodbody, Intuit, Fitzgerald Power, Spanish Point Technologies, and BVP for their support, and to the Scale Ireland team—Deirdre Tracey, Sheila Harte, Vijay Krishna C V, and Noel Rock—for organising a fantastic and highly successful event.
