As a result of discussions with Scottish Government, and in particular, Minister for Trade, Investment and Innovation, Ivan McKee, Photonics Scotland was asked to undertake a baseline survey of its members on behalf of Scottish Government and its enterprise agencies in order to provide an up to date view of the Scottish Photonics sector.
The survey was launched on 30th March and we are delighted to share that we have received a fantastic response, with around 70% of Scottish Photonics companies submitting completed surveys!
We are proud to say that these survey results represent the most detailed analysis of the sector in over a decade, and they will form the baseline to highlight changes in the sector over the coming years.
The data gathered from this survey will be used to support Photonics Scotland’s vision to treble the size of the sector in Scotland by 2030 as detailed in our vision paper, Photonics in Scotland: A vision for 2030, published last year. The data will also provide crucial information to inform the focus of support for the sector over the coming months and years.
Photonics Scotland is delighted to announce that the full breakdown and analysis of the data gathered from this survey is now available to view in our Photonics in Scotland 2020 Report below.
