We spent yesterday at @codebasetech hearing how our Round 11 cohort is getting on — and there’s SO much to get excited about. It was great to hear the companies give their 2-minute update on the progress they have made so far on the #Accelerator. In the afternoon, they took part in a branding and company narrative workshop, sharpening how they tell their stories and position their ventures. It was a fantastic chance for teams to connect with their Challenge Sponsors, fellow teams, and the CivTech team. Thanks to CodeBase for hosting us and everyone else for coming along 🙌 #TechForGood #ScotlandIsNow #Innovation #GovTech #Startups #PublicSectorInnovation
