Through its National Innovation Strategy, the Scottish Government wants to create one of the most innovative small nations in the world, over the next decade. In this event, we will explore the role of innovation in growing the Scottish economy.
How can innovation drive economic growth across Scotland’s cities and regions? Join the Foundation for Science and Technology (FST) for an evening of discussion. Bringing together leaders from government, industry and academia, this event will examine how innovation policy, regional development and civic collaboration can support sustainable economic growth.
