Glasgow City Innovation District is excited to launch our latest initiative, Venture Studio. The brand new Venture Studio will consist of four pillars to support the city's innovation ecosystem to develop new ideas, products, and business models for high-growth companies.
Working with key partners to deliver on our four pillars of Challenge, Make, Innovate and Impact, the Glasgow City Innovation District Venture Studio invites businesses and individuals to collaborate with us and grow Glasgow's tech, digital, engineering and creative ecosystem.
Venture Studios are recognised for a dynamic and innovative approach to launching new businesses, products, and services. Through a network of partnerships, array of resources and expertise the District will help drive the creation and growth of numerous product businesses as part of its Venture Studio. Through this collaborative approach we will support a range of businesses, empowering them to develop, launch, and scale their companies, products and revenues.
This project is funded by Glasgow City Council and UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
At the Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID) Venture Studio, we are passionate about transforming innovative ideas into real-world solutions. Our four distinct pillars are each designed to either refine an idea, build a prototype, revolutionise a market opportunity, or aim to make a significant societal impact. Each pillar provides the resources, expertise, and network you need to succeed.
Dive into the Challenge pillar, where we push boundaries and tackle real-world problems. Our first innovation programme looked at utilising Space Data to develop innovative ideas and our second programme will support businesses using Artifical Intelligence (AI) in innovative ways to support industry.
