Scotland’s Critical Technologies Supercluster (SCTS), led by Technology Scotland, has today launched a new online Funding and Investment Hub, bringing together funding, investment and support opportunities from across Scotland’s critical technologies ecosystem.

The new hub has been designed to serve two key purposes:

  • To provide organisations developing critical technologies in Scotland with a resource that helps them identify the most relevant investment opportunities at every stage of growth.
  • To showcase the funding calls, competitions, and support programmes currently available across the sector.

By bringing these opportunities together in one accessible location, the hub will make it easier for organisations to discover and access the funding and investment support needed to innovate, scale and grow.

The SCTS website serves as a central resource for individuals and organisations seeking to learn more about Scotland’s capabilities in photonics, quantum, semiconductors, and sensing & connectivity.

Alongside information about the Supercluster and its activities, the website offers a range of resources, including:

The launch of the Funding and Investment Hub strengthens the Supercluster’s commitment to supporting Scotland’s critical technologies ecosystem by improving visibility of the funding, investment and support available to businesses, researchers and innovators.
