Scottish RAS Cluster Pilot Stakeholder Event – Aberdeen – 10 February 2026
Join us for the third and final regional event in the Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Cluster engagement series, bringing together businesses, researchers, and public partners from across Scotland’s robotics ecosystem.
This interactive session marks the start of a new national initiative to connect the full robotics supply chain – from start-ups and SMEs to universities, investors, and manufacturers — and to build a coordinated, high-impact cluster that accelerates innovation, strengthens collaboration, and drives economic growth. This session focuses on stakeholders within Edinburgh and the surrounding areas in the central belt and borders.
What to Expect
- Insights into the Scottish Cluster Scheme and the vision for the RAS Cluster.
- Networking with peers, innovators, and potential collaborators from across the robotics ecosystem.
- Discussions on opportunities, challenges, and priorities shaping the future of robotics in Scotland.
- The chance to contribute directly to the Cluster Development Strategy and Roadmap that will guide the sector to 2026 and beyond.

By joining this event, you’ll:
- Help shape the direction of Scotland’s robotics and automation landscape.
- Connect across the entire supply chain, from component developers to systems integrators and end users.

Limits and restrictions
We ask that universities are represented a teaching/research/departmental level, as such this event is not open to students – we look forward to engaging with the full university community in the future!
Due to limited capacity, we may ask all organisations to limit attendance to two representatives in order to allow for a broader range of organisations to be represented at the event. In the event of this, our team will be in touch with you.
