International Engagement

Edinburgh Science Triangle

Edinburgh Science Triangle is looking to establish links to similar science park facilities throughout the world. We are keen to compare and share experiences for the benefit of our tenant companies in the management of our respective facilities.

Edinburgh Science Triangle aims to:

• Create a conduit for our SME’s so they can explore and be supported in new international markets
• Facilitate access into Scotland, the UK and Europe on a reciprocal basis for our overseas partners
• Identify the support that is available in Scotland and beyond for such objectives
• Establish an international community for trade and commerce across trans-national boundaries

On a practical level, Edinburgh Science Triangle aims to:

• Provide ‘soft landing’ facilities for companies wanting to visit i.e. making rooms and facilities available as required
• Exchange news and information, providing details of events and providing the opportunity for companies to share their experience of international business.
• Identify support and/or grants available for European and wider collaboration
