Why Edinburgh?

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital and the UK's second-largest financial center after London, with a deep heritage in banking and asset management. The city's tech sector has grown rapidly around FinTech, data science, and artificial intelligence, fueled by world-class universities including the University of Edinburgh's renowned School of Informatics. Edinburgh offers significantly lower operating costs than London while maintaining access to top-tier talent.

Edinburgh's tech ecosystem is anchored by its strength in AI and data science, with the University of Edinburgh's Informatics department ranked among the world's best. Companies like FanDuel, Skyscanner, and FreeAgent were founded here, and the city's CodeBase is one of Europe's largest technology incubators.
