Overview
Come to the Royal Bank Accelerator Hub to watch the streaming of Scotland Pitch Final. Network with colleagues and founders.
In the year that Royal Bank Accelerator celebrates a decade of helping accelerate UK businesses, we're proud to be hosting our fourth live final of our nationwide competition in Edinburgh. This is the third fourth final in a series of competitions, with a total of £1m to be given away across different finals throughout 2025 and beyond.
We're bringing together the vibrant Edinburgh ecosystem as we celebrate all our community has achieved over the last ten years and look forward with an even bolder ambition for what we do for the next ten. What better way to do that than showcase six incredible businesses via pitches, with three businesses to be awarded a share of £30k.
