To ask the Scottish Government what support it has provided to the software and electronic publishing sector since 2008. 9 Apr 2018 · Written Question

To ask the Scottish Government what support it has provided to the software and electronic publishing sector since 2008.

Answer · Fiona Hyslop · 26 Apr 2018

Scottish Enterprise can provide data for the past 5 years which shows that over that time period (to the end of the financial year 2016-2017) they have invested just under £28 million (£27.9 million) in software and electronic publishing.
During this period Creative Scotland has supported projects that align with their stated priorities and involve businesses in the software and electronic publishing sector as partners in creative projects. However, they have no specific funding schemes for digital businesses, nor do they routinely capture SIC codes of applicants in order to report against sub-sectors of the creative industries. All Regularly Funded Organisations are expected to describe how they engage with this sub-sector as part of their Digital Connecting Theme and Creative Scotland has in the past also run time-limited programmes that were open to applications from the sector, i.e. The Innovation and Light Bytes programmes.

*Figures rounded to nearest 100.
1. The ‘software and electronic publishing sector’ is defined as including the following Standard Industrial Classification 2007:
58.29 Other software Publishing
62.01/2 Business and domestic software development
62.02 Computer consultancy activities
This definition is consistent with the Scottish Government’s Growth Sector definition of ‘Digital Industries’. More details can found in the Growth Sectors Database at the link shown below:

2. The industry classification SIC 2007 was introduced to the Annual Population Survey in 2009. It is therefore not possible from this source to produce a consistent estimate of employment in this sector for 2008.
