As part of Digital Leaders Week 2019, the Scottish Government has announced two events taking place on June 19th in Glasgow, Tontine, and June 20th in Edinburgh at the CivTech studio.

These engaging sessions offer an ideal setting for start-ups, SMEs and entrepreneurs to learn about the Scottish Government Digital Directorate’s award-winning CivTech Programme and the launch of CivTech 4.0 Challenges on July 15th.

You will also hear from some of the talented companies who won contracts in previous cohorts, offering their insight into how they were funded to solve a challenge and build a successful business on the back of it. Lastly, you will get a preview of the CivTech 4.0 Challenges!
