As a ScotlandIS member you become part of a thriving community. We can help you to build your network, raise your profile and meet other tech businesses.

We can feature your case studies or blog articles on our website, to highlight your capabilities to our expansive network of member and cluster tech companies in Scotland and beyond. We will share your news and upcoming events via our website, social platforms and fortnightly bulletin with a reach of 7000 contacts.
Access our thriving startup community, learn from experts in your field and share challenges with your peers at our exclusive roundtables, or showcase at Scotland’s annual leading tech conference, ScotSoft. Come along to all ScotlandIS events for the opportunity to make valuable connections within our network across Scotland’s digital technology industry.
We’ll highlight relevant funding opportunities and equip you with the skills you need to win funding. Use our e-Placement programme to gain early access to the talent pool within Scotland’s universities, adding value to a key area of your business.
