Scotland has built a reputation in niche markets in the field of Micro/Opto Electronics and Communication Technologies (MOCT). These unique selling points, derived from a long history of research, design and innovation in Scottish universities and companies has resulted in the MOCT cluster becoming a substantial employer in Scotland.

This concentration of expertise has led Targeting Innovation to work closely with the industry in Scotland.

Our MOCT Team has many years of experience.  They can provide mentoring and other support to teams whose primary skills and experience are in the generation of Intellectual Property.   This can lead on to the development of a market strategy, and generate products and services which will address these markets.
