Elevator, the Aberdeen-based business support organisation, has launched a new programme aimed at former employees of Scotland’s aerospace sector.

The ambition behind it is to help create companies that will drive economic recovery north of the border.

As part of Elevator’s Grey Matters offering, the initiative is supported by Scottish Enterprise (SE) and Renfrewshire Council.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are hugely important to our economic recovery.”

The 16-week programme is expected to be up and running by August. It will be fully funded by Elevator, the Aberdeen-based social enterprise supporting start-ups and early-stage companies throughout Scotland.

Elevator energy director John Harris said: “In the last 18-months we have seen a plethora of challenges emerge from the global pandemic.

“To successfully meet these challenges we need to tap into the power of human ingenuity and find novel solutions that can successfully scale up to have a positive local and national impact.
