Breakthrough plan to help Scotland's IT sector cash in
The plan, drawn up by SE's Information and Communications Technologies Industry Advisory Group (ICT IAG), will involve the establishment of a new "deal platform" aimed at companies in the sector and potential investors. Grant and equity funding, provided through the Scottish Co-investment Fund and other sources, will be streamlined and targeted at IT firms working in international markets.
Gerry Docherty, chair of the ICT IAG, said: "Our vision is that Scotland will have a reputation as one of the most active and fast-growing locations for ambitious high-growth ICT companies globally."
