"The government has announced 14 new local tech projects as part of a £1 million Regional Tech Booster program. Designed to support tech businesses and founders and grow local tech ecosystems, the projects will give them targeted training, expert guidance, help to build networks, and support to scale their operations from within their communities. The program also includes a series of investment events, through a National Investment Corridors initiative, with the first two set to take place in Bristol and Leeds later this year."
"Projects include a support scheme for early-stage gaming startups in Scotland, with an emphasis on community building, peer learning, ethical strategy, and sustainable business growth. Another Scottish project is ScotlandIS: Future Ready In Scotland. Aimed at giving tech founders in rural or remote communities the same opportunities as those in more urban or connected areas, this will provide peer networks and targeted training, as well as connecting isolated founders to national support and organizations."
