The Innovation Centres in Scotland<br />
As part of <strong>2016</strong>’s Year of Innovation Architecture and Design, Scotland’s<br />
eight Innovation Centres came together to celebrate Scottish innovation.<br />
Activity centred around a showcase event in June, TEDxGlasgow. Exploring the theme of ‘A<br />
disruptive world’ and attracting over 1000 delegates, TEDxGlasgow was one of a worldwide<br />
group of conferences in the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) family that offers<br />
‘Ideas worth spreading’.<br />
On the day, delegates were introduced to ‘Innovation Avenue’, the ICs’ tailor made<br />
interactive exhibition<br />
that explored a range of<br />
technologies associated<br />
with the different Centres.<br />
This was supplemented<br />
by exploratory workshops<br />
around the subject of the<br />
future of Scottish innovation.<br />
TEDx also saw the launch of the<br />
Centres’ joint website<br />
www.innovationcentres.scot<br />
featuring the new IC video.<br />
