While Scotland’s entrepreneurial landscape has no shortage of discussions, programmes, and reports exploring how to support startups and scaleups, the question of why we’re doing it often gets less attention. Without a clear ‘north star,’ execution can become fragmented, leading to misaligned initiatives and wasted resources.

​This Thursday Gathering with James Varga, serial entrepreneur, and Laura Bernal Vergara, founder of Axiotic AI, is an opportunity to step back and ask: what is the shared vision for Scotland’s tech ecosystem? What do we actually want to build, and for whom?

​If you’re a founder, ecosystem supporter, or simply curious about where the country goes next, join us for a conversation about the fundamental “why” behind our desire to build a Scotland that encourages, supports, and attracts entrepreneurship.
