Glasgow's tech sector expanding ‘at rapid rate’ with £100m investment

GLASGOW’S burgeoning tech sector is continuing to grow, with tech companies in the city attracting a combined £100 million in private investment this year. That’s up from £43m in 2020, itself a 153% increase from 2019, according to the latest figures.

The digital sector in Glasgow now employs just under 34,000 people with major international tech firms such as Siemens, Dell, Cisco and SAS making the city their base, with a focus on data science, research and development, and customer intelligence.

Smaller growing companies based in Glasgow include cloud software company Bellrock Technology, online sports betting company FanDuel and flight comparison website Skyscanner.
