Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems Cluster - Stakeholder Engagement

Join us for the second regional event in the Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Cluster Pilot 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 Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. A regional event will take place in Aberdeen in February 2026!

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 from 2026 and beyond.

Why Attend

By joining this event, you’ll:

• Help shape the direction of Scotland’s robotics and automation landscape
• Connect across the entire supply chain, from component developers to systems integrators and end users
• Gain early access to collaboration opportunities, insights, and support through the national cluster initiative
• Contribute to strengthening Scotland’s international competitiveness in robotics and autonomous systems.

Who should attend: Businesses, innovators, component suppliers, manufacturers, venture capitalists, funding bodies, researchers, educators, start-ups and SMEs, policymakers, and any stakeholders in robotics, automation, AI, or digital manufacturing within Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

Universities will be represented at a teaching/research/departmental level to balance capacity at the event and as such, students are not eligible to attend.

If you attended the first stakeholder engagement event held at NMIS on 26.11.25, please do not attend the Edinburgh event, as the format will be the same.
