We are delighted to welcome you to Engage Invest Exploit with Scotland’s most exciting early stage technology companies.

It is particularly pleasing that so many of you have travelled from all over the world to join us today.

This confirms that we, collectively, are progressively getting the message out that Scotland is a true technology hot spot with the emergence of genuinely world class companies.

The eco-system continues to develop and is increasingly outward looking in recognition of the fact that you don’t create global companies sitting here in Scotland.

Informatics Ventures is playing a leading role with the continuing expansion of EIE in London and a planned visit to China with ten of our most exciting and ambitious companies. We aim to create the connections that will enable companies to grow into international successes.

We also plan to take EIE in Scotland to a new level which will be previewed at today’s event. EIE on May 11th 2017 will build on the past success of EIE but will offer a new experience in terms of scale and scope. We look forward to welcoming you to EIE17 and would encourage early registration so that you don’t miss out.

In an interview with Germany’s Die Welt in February following a ‘Townhall Q&A’ meeting in Berlin, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerburg discussed his views on tech startup capitals, in particular how Berlin stacked up against Silicon Valley. Zuckerberg referred to US publication Business Insider who rate Berlin as the 9th-ranked hub for startups and Montreal in 20th place (there are only 20 startup cities listed) just ahead of Amsterdam in The Netherlands and London coming in at 6th, in what is unsurprisingly a North America-weighted league table. It kind of begs the question where our fast-growing startup capital that is Edinburgh matches up. Back of the fag packet workings complete, a few thoughts on the subject…

At last count, Montreal has no billion dollar valued tech companies. We have two - Skyscanner and FanDuel. The one million plus person metropolis that spreads out beneath Mont Royal in Quebec has highly-rated Informatics and business schools although Edinburgh’s School of Informatics is streets ahead in 5th place globally. So, on these measures, Edinburgh

can’t be too far off the top-twenty as a tech hub - a similar spot to where the University of Edinburgh ranks in world terms. Happy days then right? Not entirely, because unlike Montreal we’re not likely to see Scotland’s capital up in the firmament of global tech hubs as reported on by international media outlets. I’ll come back to this point shortly.

Back to Zuckerburg. He says a big factor in Silicon Valley’s success is the foundation of chip companies that came before the Apples and Googles; the thinking being this foundation of technology groups produced the best possible environment for startups - an environment rich in tech skills, people talent and smart money to help fuel rapid growth. No arguments here. Back to the fag packet - didn’t we produce a global leader in chip manufacturing in the form of Wolfson Electronics? We did. Some of the tech know-how from that company transferred skills in the form of people and money into the next wave of Scottish technology companies, like Skyscanner. This shows we had the foundation of technology companies that Zuckerberg

talks about and this foundation has helped the ecosystem to evolve and thrive.

So why doesn’t Edinburgh get listed in these kind of rankings? The first thing would seem to be that we’re relying on a primarily US-centric media to report on our tech scene to gain truly international profile and in spite of the successes of Skyscanner and FanDuel, we’re not as firm a fixture on the international map with tech journalists as we should be. I know about this first hand because I spent months, literally months, emailing and phoning London and then US news outlets trying to ‘sell in’ Skyscanner as a story several years ago, then University of Edinburgh spin-out pureLiFi in more recent times, before either company was that well known outside of Scotland. Having said that, The Next Web’s UK editor attended EIE14 and revered tech news outlet Venture Beat are in attendance at EIE16 - small, but significant victories on the press front. The role of our own media in Scotland, including one of EIE16’s media partners, The Scotsman, should not be underestimated either when you consider their not inconsiderable international readership.

Selling or marketing, whatever you want to call it, can be hard when you have to knock on the door a hundred or even a thousand times before anyone wants to listen. We need to sell our tech scene harder to the rest of the world, sell it harder to the places that matter - the US, Asia and Europe. Why? Because everyone else is and they’re selling hard, really hard. We’ve now got some great success stories to sell but we’ve got to get them told in more of the right places. That might be an annual tech festival in Texas, an international media conference in Amsterdam, London or New York or an investor gathering in Shenzhen. If the mountain won’t come to Muhammad…

I’m not saying we’re not trying hard, whether it’s the enterprise agencies or the private sector there are now a number of excellent initiatives happening - not least

Informatics Ventures and EIE - but we need to have more of the very best people - the people that have been there and done it - leading the charge in foreign fields. We need to be more clever by doing a ton of market research on how we get Scotland’s tech brand to hit the right spots. If that means having a giant, inflatable whisky bottle hanging over a stand that has people from Skyscanner, FanDuel and the Informatics school standing underneath, Mogwai strumming their tunes or Calvin Harris spinning them, BrewDog beers in an oversized ice bucket and Banchory-born Mashable founder, Pete Cashmore, as guest of honour drawing in the crowds then let’s do that. And okay, that’s back of the packet (last use of term) marketing but there are brilliant marketing people in Scotland that could be brought in to add real expertise to an admittedly crude sketch.

It’s not that we’re not doing some of the right things, just not enough of them. I guess I’m making a case for a bit more collaboration from the people that could really make a difference to the future success of Scottish tech. I reckon we are going to need public and private money and support to begin with. I think we need to rip up the plans (although I’m not really convinced we have that many plans in the first place) and bring cutting edge talent to the table – founders, academics, marketers, investors and government – and get a real and accountable plan of action on the go.

There’s a lot of happy-clappy stuff going on at the moment when it comes to Scotland’s tech scene but it’s mainly coming from ourselves - and I’m a big proponent so hardly guilt free - when what we really need is the rest of the world talking about us and how great we are when it comes to tech. So it’s time we shook it up a bit and make sure we’re not resting too much on our nicely woven laurels. Has anyone had a word with Mark Zuckerburg to see that he thinks about all of this? You know what, there would be worse places to start from than that.

The rapid growth of travel search firm Skyscanner from less than 30 employees seven years ago to more than 750 worldwide today generating huge revenues, underlines the extraordinary value that a technology company can create by executing successful globalisation.

It is no mean feat to match Skyscanner’s growth which involved new bases in Barcelona, Budapest, Sofia,

Miami, Singapore, Shenzhen and Beijing. It now has 80% of sales outwith the UK and serves as a great (but not isolated) example of a company that has maximised global opportunities from Scotland.

Scottish Equity Partners (SEP), an investor in Skyscanner since 2007 and its largest shareholder, has supported its expansion through acquisition, joint venture and organic growth. The global push

Smart partnerships key to global growthScottish Equity Partners

t

is continuing with strong growth coming from Asia-Pacific underpinned by a joint venture with Yahoo! JAPAN and its Chinese acquisition Youbibi.

Calum Paterson, Managing Partner at SEP and a non-executive director of Skyscanner says: “When we invested in Skyscanner the rationale was to help it internationalise. It has done this incredibly well, thanks to a combination of great technology, great strategy and great execution. It has enormous potential for further growth.”

There is no surefire globalisation blueprint – different approaches work for different businesses.

For some, such as Mister Spex, an online eyewear retailer, acquisition can build market share fast. It obtained funding from SEP to fund a series of acquisitions that have rapidly transformed it from a German firm to a European leader.

The challenge facing CEOs is to make sound choices on critical issues including: prioritising markets; which functions to base overseas; the best talent pool and cost base; whether to buy or build an operation; and the legislative environment. For Skyscanner, targeting Europe first, helped avoid a head-to-head battle with larger US rivals in its early days and enabled it to steal a march in key geographies although for some companies, the US or Far East may be priorities.

Andrew Davison, a Partner at SEP, says size and scalability of a company’s domestic market can dictate the speed at which it moves into other markets. In any case, companies supported by investment partners with international experience are better equipped to seize opportunities and to mitigate risk.

Davison says a successful international partnership can even lead to a takeover offer. “Establishing a constructive commercial relationship that puts you on

the radar of a potential acquirer without putting out a ’for sale’ flag can be a good approach.”

A key advantage for e-commerce firms is they may not require investment in physical infrastructure to internationalise. However, they do need a robust IT infrastructure to support growing sales, an effective marketing strategy, and potentially a customer support team if they operate across time zones.

Having the right executive team to lead global expansion is vital. One of the founding team may fulfil the role but recruiting people with local knowledge and experience can be highly beneficial, says Jan Rutherford, a Partner at SEP with a focus on healthcare companies.

An investment partner with a strong international network can help with C-suite recruitment as well as finding partners and premises, adds Rutherford. “When Skyscanner was expanding into Russia we all pooled contacts with experience of working there and we did the same for our healthcare companies moving into the US. Internationalising your board before you internationalise the company can significantly accelerate growth in priority markets,” she adds.

Rutherford says it is also important to reduce administrative and cost burdens for companies moving into new markets and to advise on corporate structure, tax and banking. “One of our companies struggled to find a suitable banking partner that would service their needs on both sides the Atlantic so we introduced them to Silicon Valley Bank who are experienced in managing international banking for venture-backed technology companies.”

The key lesson for technology companies looking to internationalise from a Scottish base is that access to the right contacts can open the door to exponential growth.

IE16

The Journey to EIE16The journey to where we are today began many months ago.

Scotland has a well-developed eco-system of support organisations, including ourselves at Informatics Ventures, who work closely with university spin-outs and start-ups across the IT & digital, life sciences and energy sectors. They offer training and mentorship to develop ideas into fledgling companies, and viable businesses. When these businesses are ready to seek investment, they are invited to apply for EIE.

The cream of this crop are then selected for EIE and embark on their own journey of preparation through skill sessions and workshops offered by Informatics Ventures focusing on pitch preparation and presentation skills. This not only provides them with the necessary skills for today’s showcase, but instils

valuable skills to develop their business... and your investment!

Today you will see live pop-up pitches from all of our exhibitors, and 12 extended live pitches, each followed by an investor Q&A. There will be the opportunity to meet with companies on a one to one basis during the exhibition and throughout the day. Please take full advantage of our company messaging service which enables you to directly contact a company to arrange a meeting or notify them of your interest if you are having trouble finding them in the venue. We also have three meeting points available in the bar area for you to have quieter conversations away from the crowds. Finally, if you should wish to connect to a specific delegate, please see the event staff at the information desk who can put you in touch.
