Targeting Innovation

Advanced Engineering

Scotland has an unrivalled tradition of advanced engineering, based on a combination of a highly inventive industrial heritage coupled to the country's unique educational system. This tradition is marked by many world-leading entrepreneurial inventors working in tandem with the country's educational institutions which conduct world-class research and development in a very wide range of fields.

It is a knowledge intensive process, turning scientific theorems and laboratory successes into products, processes and services that have industrial and commercial utility. Every leading national economy is underpinned by its strength in advanced engineering. Scotland's future therefore depends upon sustaining and enhancing its advanced engineering abilities and capabilities.

Environmental Technology
Scotland is uniquely positioned to benefit from the accelerating international demand for technological solutions to environmental issues. Intensely energy rich, it has massive maritime and natural heritage resources, world-class knowledge in its many universities and research institutions, and leads many areas of development in environmental technology world-wide. Linked to these resources are a strong and growing number of companies focusing upon driving the evolution of environmental technologies toward meeting the real needs of the global economy of the future.

Targeting Innovation's adviser pool have spent time working in senior positions in both these fields across the globe. We can offer support to companies in this area, including support in product development, due diligence, fund raising and core business skills.
