We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Ceteris and Techscaler, the Scottish Government’s startup support programme run by CodeBase. This collaboration will expand access to Ceteris co-working hubs and meeting rooms in Falkirk and Alloa, driving innovation and entrepreneurial activity across the Forth Valley region.
Building on Techscaler’s sponsorship of Forth Valley Business Week for the past two years, this partnership combines our expertise to deliver even greater support for local startups. In addition to workspace access, the collaboration will offer events, mentorship, and Techscaler’s renowned courses and programmes to help Forth Valley founders grow their businesses.
