Edinburgh, one of Europe's Top Tech Cities
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes a recent report that Edinburgh has been assessed to be one of Europe’s top 25 Tech Cities of the Future; understands that the findings are reported in fDi Magazine, an English-language bi-monthly news and foreign direct investment publication, part of the fDi Intelligence portfolio of investment products and services from the Financial Times; recognises that factors in Edinburgh's standing include a highly-skilled and educated workforce, one of the largest schools of computing science in Europe, and a fantastic company base, from the award-winning cloud accounting firm, FreeAgent, to Rockstar North, the studio behind what it considers the wildly successful Grand Theft Auto franchise, and commends all those who have contributed to help make Edinburgh an excellent location for technology companies to start up, develop, and innovate.
