Open Tech Calendar

Are you an SME in the digital services industry currently exploring growth and development opportunities?

This is a FREE event to explore business opportunities with 5 buyers from major UK and international brands!

Business in the Community Scotland in partnership with ScotlandIS and Scottish Enterprise is inviting registrations from small to medium sized companies in the digital services sector to take part in an interactive event with 5 leading IT companies Fujitsu, Oracle, Atos Origin, Sopra Steria and Virgin Media.

These companies are regularly involved in delivering digital services to large public sector customers and are particularly interested in meeting new suppliers who currently deliver, or wish to deliver, services to the public sector. These companies have their own SME engagement programmes and seek to collaborate with innovative SMEs as part of their supply chain so could offer your business a route to Global Markets for innovative solutions.
This is your opportunity to showcase your business and hear what these major companies are looking for and what they might have to offer your business.

The event will feature a combination of purchasing insight, interactive breakout sessions and networking. Scotland’s Supplier Development Programme will be on hand at the event to provide advice and guidance on getting your business ready for public procurement.
