“It is an honour to have been invited to join the judging panel at next week’s Scottish EDGE Finals. This is certainly one of the biggest highlights of the year in our calendar!
Our friends and colleagues at Scottish EDGE have built something very special that we should all be very proud of. Like Elevator, they play a critical role in growing our entrepreneurial ecosystem.
We all have a responsibility to ensure we continue to support, showcase, and celebrate the exceptional entrepreneurial talent that we have right here in Scotland.”
