The cyber cluster is focussed on driving growth and innovation, and is therefore keen to support the cyber start-up community. We have a number of recurring and one-off events and projects targeted at offering cyber start-ups support, advice and an opportunity to network.
网络创新诊所
This event provides a friendly space for start-ups to pitch to a panel of cyber and innovation experts. It’s a brilliant opportunity to get feedback, advice and insights from the experts. It’s your chance to put a new product, service or plan forward and get honest feedback on it before pitching it to an investor or customer.
Our panel of experts changes at each event but you can expect representatives from DIT, 洛尔卡 and also well-known names from the Scottish cyber ecosystem such as Peter Jaco, Jamie Graves and Bill Buchanan.
Q. 它多久开一次?
A. 每年2-3次.
网络创业活动
If you’re a cyber startup and you want to hear from great speakers, have a chance to work with other startups and meet business experts then these events are for you! In our first event we welcome a large enterprise to share their story with you and tell you how they find their next partner business and what they’re looking for.
In addition ScotlandIS runs a series of events to support start-ups so there is plenty of support and advice available to you.
Q. 他们多久开一次车?
A. The first event will be held in September/October 2021.
网络创新挑战赛
Are you ready to be challenged? Led by Scottish Enterprise this programme is for those businesses who have a cyber product or service that would benefit the digital health sector. This brand new programme will be launched later this year with full details still to be revealed.
Watch this space for further information.
Q. 它多久开一次?
A. This is a one-off programme expected to be launched in Autumn 2021.
