CivTech Round 12 is coming! Become a Challenge Sponsor

Are you part of a public or third sector organisation looking to tackle real challenges in new, innovative ways? Join this informal online session to discover how you can become a CivTech Challenge Sponsor.

CivTech is the Scottish Government’s award-winning innovation programme that connects public and third sector organisations with talented innovators to solve real-world problems. A new set of CivTech Challenges will launch in summer 2026, and this session is your opportunity to find out how to get involved.

During the session, you’ll:

• Learn how the CivTech process works — from defining a Challenge to developing solutions with innovative teams.
• Hear success stories from previous Sponsors and understand the impact of the programme.
• Find out what makes a great Challenge and what support is available throughout the process.
• Have the chance to ask questions and explore whether becoming a Sponsor is right for your organisation.

This will be a relaxed, interactive session — cameras and questions are welcome.

If you have any specific accessibility requirements, please contact the CivTech team in advance so we can make sure you’re fully supported - civtech@gov.scot
