Industry Events

This fund will allocate £4 million to demand-driven collaborative activity addressing the needs of the key industry sectors identified within the Scottish Government’s economic strategy. SFC is particularly keen to receive proposals for projects that involve Scottish small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

Ahead of the deadline for submission of the outline proposal (17th September), a workshop will be held on 11th August at Cowan House in Inverness. The aims of this workshop are to raise awareness of this call, identify knowledge gaps and potential collaborations with industry.
