The event will exhibit over 50 presentations and demonstrations aimed at showing:

SICSA Universities are involved in virtually all areas of computer science and informatics from low-level hardware design, through networking and middleware, to wetware, artificial intelligence, human computer interaction and social informatics. We are world leaders in both theoretical and practical aspects of these disciplines and work closely with industry and government to exploit this know-how and technology. Recent activities have focused on green ICT, cloud computing, smart tourism, creative media, data security, next generation internet, complex systems and sensors.

SICSA University commercialisation teams, ScotlandIS and our partner organisations (Scottish Enterprise, Knowledge Transfer Partnership and Interface) help us to promote the transfer of knowledge and technical skills to industry, particularly technology driven high growth businesses.
