Scottish RAS Cluster stakeholder engagement events

We're hosting regional stakeholder events to meet and engage with members of the Scottish robotics ecosystem, explore opportunities for collaboration, and co-design the vision and development strategy for the Scottish RAS Cluster through 2026 and beyond

Join us for the first regional event in the Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Cluster engagement series, bringing together businesses, researchers, and public partners from across Scotland’s robotics ecosystem.This interactive session marks the start of a new national initiative to connect the full robotics supply chain - from start-ups and SMEs to universities, investors, and manufacturers - and to build a coordinated, high-impact cluster that accelerates innovation, strengthens collaboration, and drives economic growth. This session focusses on stakeholders within Glasgow and the surrounding areas in the West of Scotland.Outside of Glasgow?
