E268 That Great Business Show - The Barcode Is Dead — Irish Innovation, Fintech for Doctors & Packaging That Talks Back

That Great Business Show

Show Notes

“Goodbye barcodes. Hello QR codes.” Once upon a time, the packaging just sat there. Now it talks back. On Episode 268 of That Great Business Show — officially UCD Smurfit Business School Podcast of the Year — I meet: • Donald Douglas of Scanfinity / Return2Sender, turning butter wrappers and Guinness cans into interactive billboards, • Graham Byrne & David Crimmins of Global Health Capital, the fintech that pays doctors before the paperwork clears. Donald’s wow line still rings: “The barcode is dead.”Turns out your fridge door may soon be your media plan.

That's Alan McQuaid - an economist with more than 30 years' experience in financial markets, who has worked with the Department of Finance, Merrion Stockbrokers and Cantor Fitzgerald Ireland. A man who has seen a financial crisis or two. And he believes we're heading for serious trouble. "We're set up for a big fall."
