If you run a deep tech start-up in the North of England or Scotland and have potential applications or a market within the telecoms sector – this event is a must-attend.

UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UKTIN) is the innovation network for the UK telecoms sector, bringing together industry, government stakeholders and academia to catalyse R&D investment, cooperation and commercialisation.

Earlier in the year, it released a first-of-its-kind Telecoms Investment Report, which explored the investment trends shaping the future of the telecoms industry, revealing that £1.4bn of venture capital had been invested in the UK telecoms sector in the last four years.

Now, turning the spotlight onto the Scottish landscape, this session will provide investment advice and insights to start-ups looking to enter the telecoms market or seeking funding to develop their applications for the telecoms market.

With deep tech investment in Scotland reaching a combined value of £3bn since 2011, the region’s reputation as a tech hub continues to grow, bolstered by supportive government initiatives and outstanding centres of excellence, amongst other factors.   Furthermore, it is estimated that by enhancing 5G capability, Scotland has the potential to add £17bn GDP by 2035, and create 160,000 new jobs and boost export volumes by £3.3bn.
