Scottish Government sets up Silicon Valley start-up hub


Devolved administration’s incubator programme for burgeoning digital firms has established its first base in the US tech hotspot, where 12 companies will now have the chance to access growth support

The Scottish Government has launched its first Techscaler hub in Silicon Valley.

The pilot programme hopes to boost international contract opportunities for Scottish entrepreneurs. It will host 12 start-ups developing ideas in areas ranging from health to space technology.

UK technology incubator specialist CodeBase will run the programme, which will be based at a Mindspace co-working space in San Francisco’s South Park district. Initially lasting for one month, CodeBase aims to create a permanent hub.

Techscaler was launched in November 2022 as part of a £42m investment from the Scottish Government. Since then, it has set up a network of hubs across Scotland, helping around 400 firms to scale up.

Activities like this demonstrate Scotland’s ambition to become one of Europe’s leading start-up communities, we are setting an example internationally and helping drive a fair and growing economy.”

Daniel Grant, founder of notation.dev, one of the first companies to use the hub, added: “Joining the San Francisco hub has energised me, and enabled me to connect with people from around the world working at the forefront of tech. The power of San Francisco is the velocity at which information moves through the city. It is a hyper-charged network that accelerates innovation, and connects founders with collaborators, prospects, and investors faster than anywhere else in the world.”
