About this Event
Scotland has a strong pipeline of research and innovation, yet many early-stage researchers and aspiring founders lack exposure to the realities of building a startup.
This event is designed to bridge that gap by creating an open platform where experienced founders share honest, unfiltered insights — not just successes, but the challenges, setbacks, and pivotal moments that shape entrepreneurial journeys.
Through this, Innovation Forum Glasgow aims to demystify entrepreneurship, inspire the next generation of founders, and strengthen connections within Scotland’s growing deep-tech and life sciences ecosystem.
