🔹 Who We Help
We’ve worked with a range of clients including SMEs, Scottish Enterprise, and Opportunity North East (ONE), providing insights to support strategic decisions, funding allocation, and ecosystem development.
We can also support:
- Research organisations looking to map tech capabilities or innovation trends
- Universities exploring industry collaboration or startup ecosystems
- Larger companies and consultancies needing detailed, regional tech intelligence for due diligence, investment, or supplier research
Whether you’re part of a small team or a large institution, we offer curated, structured insights tailored to your goals.
🔹 Why It Matters
Too often, decisions about funding, training, or economic support are made without a clear understanding of the local tech ecosystem. We aim to change that by offering real visibility into the businesses driving digital innovation — especially in areas that are often overlooked.
🔹 Our Story
I started Company Connecting in 2015 after struggling to find a simple, accurate list of IT companies in Scotland. What began as a practical project has evolved into a curated data resource used by councils, development bodies, and educational institutions.
We’re independent, thorough, and constantly evolving — and we love helping others find meaningful insights in the tech space.
