What is the Scottish EDGE(SE)?
Scottish EDGE is a competition aimed at identifying and supporting Scotland’s up-and-coming, innovative, high-growth entrepreneurial talent. We believe that it’s important to support entrepreneurs and start-up businesses in any way we can. We also recognise that supporting businesses isn’t a one-off thing. From providing prize funding of up to £150,000 to a quick catch-up, we’re here for the long haul. Are you in? Let’s get down to business.
A total of 29 businesses with high growth potential from across Scotland benefited to the tune of just over £1 million after being named as winners at the SE Round 17 Awards. Watch the ceremony again or click below to read more about the event and its winners.
