In our connected world new technologies, insights, processes and experiences, new ways of sharing moments and connecting with people, have all been made possible thanks to the digital revolution. In just a few decades people have seen the world transform around them, and others have already grown up knowing nothing other than touchscreen technology. New industries have been created, and old industries revolutionized. Society has made a leap from analog, terrestrial and print - to digital, virtual and online.
This seismic shift in how societies connect and communicate has long roots in physics, electromagnetics and radio science. The famous Scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell paved the way for modern communications technology, and today Scotland plays a leading role in key digital economies including data science, digital creative arts and financial technology. Embracing new technologies, accessing and empowering data and creating digitised solutions to age old problems are all part of the picture. From remote rural healthcare applications which save lives, data-driven healthcare pathways, to the cutting edge of fintech solutions for global finance, and some of the world’s most successful games franchises – Scotland is creating the digital legends of tomorrow.
