Cluster Conference 2023

Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow

Tuesday 21st March

9am-6pm


Scotland’s Cluster Conference is back

Building on the success of its first three years, it returns to celebrate the achievements from across the Scottish clusters and the tech community in 2022, and to focus on the opportunities coming in 2023.

The aim of the conference is to highlight areas for collaboration amongst Scotland’s tech clusters and bring insights from across the tech ecosystem. Let’s explore where we can work together to achieve new heights and help to grow the country’s tech economy.

With speaker sessions including Emerging Trends in Healthtech, Convergence of Technologies, 5G Technology Transforming Healthcare, Potential of Quantum Tech, Funding Access, and Global Opportunities for Scottish Tech Firms, we’ll be covering a wide range of topics suitable for all attendees, whatever field of technology you sit in.

Cluster Conference 2023 will take place on Tuesday 21st March, at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow. We look forward to you joining us for a day of networking, insights and celebration of Scotland’s technology clusters.
