Nurturing Glasgow's Innovation Ecosystem with Alisdair Gunn, Glasgow City Innovation District

In our debut episode of Innovation Brief, we sat down with Alisdair Gunn to talk about Scotland's emerging tech landscape and the importance of nurturing the city´s innovation ecosystem.

As director of the Glasgow City Innovation District, Gunn reveals how a collaborative, community-driven approach can transform a city's innovation potential. We explore the unique strategies of building an ecosystem that values local talent, embraces cross-sector innovation, and creates meaningful solutions to global challenges.

Learn how Glasgow is rewriting the playbook for regional tech development and why the future of innovation isn't about copying existing models, but creating something entirely new.
