What's the point of this thread? Honest question.
I have the feeling it is pointless keeping such map from the perspective of Brexit. Soon Scotland will be off of Eu, and all these businesses will be facing very different realities in short time. I would refrain make business with companies with whom I'd face more taxes or red tape just because their countries would left the EU.
So what are we trying to do here? Explore more the Scottish market? The soon-to-be limited UK market?
I am lost. Could someone explain it to me?

- jbms 10y agoThe point is to raise awareness of a basic tool that tracks Scotland's tech industry. That is of interest to lots of people. Potential uses of the tool itself: - Helping people find potential job opportunities in Scotland - Helping tech companies in Scotland find other tech companies within Scotland - Getting people excited about some of what's happening in Scotland. It's a small country but it has some $1b tech companies and lots more are on the way. - Encouraging international companies to start divisions/design houses/engineering centres in Scotland due to the quantity of comparatively-cheap talent. This is happening a lot already. If things are getting harder internationally for Scottish businesses (which I don't believe or expect for the tech industry), then surely this becomes even more important as those companies will want to partner more within Scotland?
