How Scotland can help
Scotland’s entrepreneurial ecosystem is thriving, with Techscaler – our national entrepreneurship programme delivered by CodeBase – providing founders with the skills, networks, and support to grow.
The Scottish Ecosystem Platform offers open-access data to connect founders, investors, and ecosystem builders.
Scottish Enterprise plays a leading role in backing early-stage companies, while the Scottish National Investment Bank helps scale-ups reach their full potential.
Programmes like Converge Scotland and Scottish Edge further strengthen the landscape by funding and mentoring promising start-ups.
