Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems Cluster - Stakeholder Engagement

Join us for the first regional event in the Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Cluster engagement series, bringing together businesses, researchers, and public partners from across Scotland’s robotics ecosystem.

This interactive session marks the start of a new national initiative to connect the full robotics supply chain - from start-ups and SMEs to universities, investors, and manufacturers - and to build a coordinated, high-impact cluster that accelerates innovation, strengthens collaboration, and drives economic growth. This session focusses on stakeholders within Glasgow and the surrounding areas in the West of Scotland.

Outside of Glasgow? Look out for our sessions in Edinburgh and Aberdeen in early 2026 with more ways to engage coming soon!

What to Expect

• Insights into the Scottish Cluster Scheme and the vision for the RAS Cluster.
• Networking with peers, innovators, and potential collaborators from across the robotics ecosystem.
• Discussions on opportunities, challenges, and priorities shaping the future of robotics in Scotland.
• The chance to contribute directly to the Cluster Development Strategy and Roadmap that will guide the sector to 2026 and beyond.
• Optional tour of NMIS at the end of the event
