Silicon Valley-style accelerator planned for Glasgow

The UK Government has revealed plans for a new innovation and research centre in the Glasgow area, as part of its strategy to "level up" the nations.

The new accelerator would create new jobs for Glasgow in the mould of similar centres in Silicon Valley. It would be one of the three nations across the UK sharing £100m in funding.

Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove is to invite Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, as well as her Welsh counterpart Mark Drakeford, and Paul Givan and Michelle O’Neill from Northern Ireland, to take part in the project.
