Bringing together key players in the GovTech space to ensure Scottish Cluster success

"As the cyclist stream below us I had the elevated opportunity today to discuss all things Govtech with the WSP Digital team in Glasgow. Michael Boyd and Steven Alexander of WSP hosted me in their stunning 7th floor office which offered panoramic views of the city. For the Scottish Govtech Cluster to be a success we must bring together all players who operate in the space and that includes multinationals such as WSP with 90,000 staff in the UK. By collaborating, sharing experience and opening our networks we can not only ensure the success of the cluster but also open up international opportunities for all in Scotland." - Russell Dalgleish, Founding Chair of Scottish Business Network

"One of the real pleasures I find in my career today is to have the opportunity to meet with successful international business figures who wish to lean in and support Scottish StartUps. Today in Glasgow I got to spend an hour with Nadeem Shakoor who has recently returned to Scotland from Singapore. Nadeem has a passion to support Scottish Tech companies achieve international growth and I'm delighted he has agreed to work with us at Scottish Business Network to ensure the success of the recently launched GovTech cluster. If you are looking for advice, guidance, support and access to global networks then all you need to do is ask. This can sound like a glib statement but trust me it is an honest offer. No one in business has achieved success on their own."
