These 30 minute webinars will be short, informative sessions on a variety of topics, from exporting to cybersecurity, cloud computing to procurement, and many more.

Each event will feature a ScotlandIS member offering their expert insights and advice on the topic in hand, however you do not need to be a member to attend these talks.

For October, we’ll be joined by ScotlandIS member Systal.

Artificial Intelligence has exploded in popularity in the last few years. Whilst organisations are keen to reap the benefits it can provide, they are often blind to the risks. This Tech TidBit will explore:

• AI in organisations: in theory and in practice
• AI strengths and weaknesses – how they are often overlooked
• How AI is both hindering and helping organisational security, operational activities, and compliance
• How AI is both helping and hindering digital investigations, eDiscovery and evidential integrity

R&D tax credits are designed to support innovation, but many Scottish technology companies are facing growing uncertainty around eligibility, evidence, compliance and HMRC enquiries.

This roundtable will bring together ScotlandIS members to share practical experiences, identify common challenges and explore how the system could work more effectively for innovative companies.

The discussion will help ScotlandIS develop an evidence base to support future engagement with government and HMRC, ensuring the voice of Scotland’s tech sector is clearly represented.

This is an interactive session so that you can provide your feedback. We would encourage you to join with your camera and mic on.
