Targeting Innovation

Due to a number of internal and external factors we have taken a decision to postpone the Targeting Innovation Software Awards Competition and Ceremony until Spring 2010.
 
We appreciate your support, patience and past participation in the event and look forward to updating you with launch news in the New Year.

A Platform for the Most Innovative Scottish Software Companies

The Scottish software sector is one of the most dynamic and diverse in the world, comprising nearly 1,400 companies specialising in software design for everything from engineering and manufacturing to science, neural networks, telecommunications, multimedia and games development.
