12. Innovation Assets For Priority Areas

Scotland comprises a number of institutions and assets, around which existing cluster development activity can be found for each of the innovation priority areas.

The following asset maps set out some of the key actors and assets from across Scotland that signal the breadth of Scotland's innovation expertise in each of the innovation priority areas. The maps cover the eleven vertical sector innovation priority areas, and the two broader horizontal themes of Data & Digital Technologies and Advanced Manufacturing that provide cross-sectoral supporting and enabling infrastructure for each vertical sector.

Each asset map provides a snapshot of the variety of assets across Scotland at the time of publication, and locations are approximate.
