Geovation Scotland Showcase 2026

On Thursday 12 March, Geovation Scotland hosted their annual Showcase event. This event highlighted the founders of Cohort 7 of the accelerator programme. They  have spent the last 9 months working on their businesses by  validating their ideas, refining their MVP’s, learning from curated subject experts to shape their story into a polished and professional pitch.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped us pull this event together, and to all those who attended.

Pre-election period

From 26 March – 7 May, our communications will be limited as we follow Scottish Government pre-election period guidance, though essential business will continue as normal.

Pre-election period is a defined period before polling day when government, public bodies, and civil servants must act with heightened political neutrality.

Its purpose is to ensure that public resources are not used in a way that could influence the election or appear politically biased.

We will also be following post-election guidance as soon as this becomes available.
