Business. Service. Or charity. If you’re looking to push the limits of what can be done or delivered, Scotland’s Innovation Centres can help. Perhaps you want to improve an existing product, process or service. Maybe you’ve identified an all-new opportunity and the means to capitalise on it. Whatever your idea, whatever your sector, the Innovation Centres have the connections and know-how to take your idea from early concept to market entry.
How we support innovationBacked by the Scottish Government, with support from its enterprise agencies and universities, the £120m Innovation Centre programme accelerates technological advances by forging new collaborations between people like you and Scotland’s world-leading researchers. From day one, and at every stage of the partnership thereafter, we’ll work closely with you to understand your aims, identify the challenges and how best to overcome them.
A programme delivering multiple impacts Scotland’s unique Innovation Centres programme is realising rich and diverse impacts for industry and the Scottish economy.
Opening the door to innovation The potential of Scotland’s academic research base to help companies grow is immense. Businesses often know this, but do not know what to do about it.
Positioning Scotland at the forefront of innovation A more international Scotland means a more competitive Scotland. By helping Scottish businesses and researchers to engage internationally, the eight Innovation Centres are boosting business and economic growth.
From MScs to industry training to bootcamps Scotland’s eight Innovation Centres (ICs) are committed to helping our economy and people to flourish and prosper. One way we do this is skills development.
