Impact
The programme succeeded in building stronger connections across Scotland's entrepreneurial ecosystem:
- Increased understanding of changes needed to make the ecosystem more inclusive
- Created recognition that all stakeholders have a part to play in driving ecosystem improvement
- Established connections with multiple support organisations including Knowvate Hub, Dechomai, Gearing for Growth, Startup Grind, Foras, Techscaler and others
- Connected organisations across geographic boundaries, including South of Scotland Enterprise and Highlands & Islands Enterprise
In Their Words
"Thank you for the funding – this enabled us to scale our event series and create impact across Scotland. Connections across diverse networks and communities were created, with a plethora of positive outcomes. Without the funding we wouldn't have been able to deliver this work."

Bridging Communities as an event series has continued beyond the ecosystem funding, with us continuing to grow our network of partners and delivery of events to explore the themes that emerged from the initial series, including:
- Collaboration for change
- Inclusive ecosystems
- Taking action within our own communities
To date we have engaged with 750+ individuals through the events and 45+ partners from across Scotland.
