ONLINE MAGAZINE READ BY INNOVATORS AND THE INNOVATION COMMUNITY

• OPEN TO INNOVATORS • OPEN FOR BUSINESS Every business every where – that’s who should be doing it. Innovation is the lifeblood of future success and is core to the development of every society. Lofty words you might say, but who can argue against them?

Take five minutes to think about where you are today, look around you and start to appreciate that everything you see and touch is only there because someone somewhere had an innovative idea to change what was into what is now.

Scotland as a nation has one of the most illustrious histories of any country in the world when it comes to innovation and inventiveness.

OPENScotlandmag.com was born to celebrate this spirit and to showcase to the world just what innovation is taking place, everyday, across every business sector.

We hope to surprise you at the scale of R&D, at the work of the many support services in Scotland, and beyond, and just how smart we are as a nation.

As the online magazine grows it will become many things, but at its core is the ambition to be a meeting place for innovative people, and those interested in innovation, and to promote discussion, commentary and the exchange of ideas and the sourcing of help – financial and practical.

There are literally hundreds of everyday products and services we use today that a Scot has either invented or improved upon.

So consider yourself invited to be part of the community and celebrate innovation where ever you find it.

Today’s challenge is to keep that pioneering spirit alive and well, and we’re pleased to say through our worldclass educational institutes, investors and the many support services out there, Scotland continues to punch above its weight.
