'It will be transformational for jobs and skills ... and will tackle some of our greatest economic challenges.'
Glasgow needs to be at the “forefront of the fourth industrial revolution” to help tackle climate change according to the city council leader.
Two of the projects which will benefit from the funding are the Next Generation Remote-Sensing Technologies which aims to explore the viability of new technologies, and the Modular Chemical Robot Farms for Chemistry: a new University of Glasgow spin out with more than 25 employees, which is developing the automated technology of chemputation - universal chemical synthesis controlled by computers.
“The Innovation Accelerator provides us with a fantastic opportunity to build on progress made in recent years and to turbocharge a massive step change in the innovation economy and performance – to the benefit of Scotland and the UK. All of the projects have been asked to ensure that they have strong “sustainability credentials” with some exploring “enabling technology” to help to support Glasgow’s transition to a post-carbon economy.
