The Scotsman Insider has unveiled its Tech 50 list, highlighting the largest technology firms based in Scotland, ranked by turnover. Contrary to the common perception of a start-up-driven sector, this year's list reveals a significant presence of companies specializing in hardware, deep tech, and cloud infrastructure, with over two-thirds of the firms operating in these areas. This reflects Scotland's robust engineering heritage and its ability to integrate digital capabilities into essential services. Notably, software and Software as a Service (SaaS) companies constitute a smaller share of the ranking than anticipated. Karen Meechan, CEO of ScotlandIS, emphasized the importance of recognizing these larger firms that contribute to innovation and impact across various industries. She noted that as AI, cybersecurity, and deep tech evolve, the foundational infrastructure supporting these technologies has become increasingly vital. This year's ranking serves as a testament to Scotland's growing influence in the global tech landscape.
