CivTech Scotland

What an incredible day in Glasgow yesterday at the Techscaler First Steps Showcase! 🎉 This event marked the conclusion of the third cohort of the 13-week Scotland wide course for early-stage tech founders—and what a showcase it was! The energy, innovation, and passion in the room were truly inspiring, with some absolutely brilliant pitches from the talented founders. A huge congratulations to everyone who participated! 💥 #ScotlandIsNow

Exciting day at #DigitalScotland2024 in Edinburgh! Hosted by Futurescot, this event is all about driving digital transformation for public sector policy and technology leaders. We were thrilled to be mentioned in the opening keynote by Ivan McKee, Minister for Public Finance, who highlighted the amazing work being done to transform the Scottish Government’s digital services, with a focus on the four “Cs” – Common Platforms, Common Approaches, Culture Change, and CivTech! This afternoon promises even more insightful sessions, and we are particularly looking forward to hearing from John-Paul Marks, Permanent Secretary to the Scottish Government, and Sidsel Bülow Skovborg, from the Danish Embassy, who will discuss the crucial role of keeping public services at the forefront of the digital revolution. We firmly believe CivTech has a key part to play in shaping this future!😉 #ScotlandIsNow #TechForGood #DS24

So pleased for a great company. Regulation is not a hindrance to innovation, it’s a help. It doesn’t stifle business, it opens up opportunities. At CivTech Scotland we’re proud to be part of a journey with the Scottish Government using its world leading #AIRegister developed by Saidot. #trueinnovation #techforgood #scotlandisnow #collaboration #togetherwearestronger #startupnation Russell Dalgleish The Scottish GovTech Cluster
