Scottish

Scottish Enterprise and its partners provide a range of services and support packages designed to help life science companies.

Roslin BioCentre has a dedicated Account Manager at SEEL who is able to signpost support and funding available to tenants. In most cases it is not necessary to be a ‘Scottish’ company in order to qualify for funding, but beneficiaries must be able to show that they are, or will be able to provide benefit for Scotland – or the Scottish Economy.
