The Scottish Government is encouraging more native SMEs to undergo digital transformation, putting an additional £25m into the DigitalBoost Fund.

The fund was set up by Business Gateway and the Scottish Government in January to help businesses invest in hardware, business management software, e-commerce and data analytics through grants worth up to £25k.

Economy Secretary Kate Forbes said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated just how important digital technologies are for businesses.

“This investment will help businesses to improve their digital skills and technologies to ensure they can help drive forward our economic recovery and support net-zero.”

The scheme has currently helped over 2,200 Scottish Businesses.
