CivTech Round 11: Online Drop-In Session

CivTech Round 11 is here — and with it, a brand-new set of real-world Challenges are now open for applications. These Challenges tackle issues that matter, spanning everything from education to the natural environment, core government functions to Gaelic language, and more. With 8 exciting and well-funded Challenges offering significant contract opportunities, now is the time to bring your ideas to life.

What is CivTech?

CivTech is a Scottish Government programme that brings together the public, private and third sectors to co-develop products and services that make people’s lives better. Each Challenge comes from a government body, public agency, or charity, and we invite anyone with a great idea to collaborate with us in building solutions.

If your idea is selected, your team will join our 15-week Accelerator, where you’ll be funded to turn your concept into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). You’ll also receive expert support to grow both your product and your business.

Recognised worldwide as the gold standard for how governments can work with innovators to drive lasting change, CivTech is proud to continue shaping the future of public services.

To help you explore the programme, its benefits, and the application process, we’re hosting a series of online drop-in sessions during the application window.
