Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems Cluster-Aberdeen Engagement Event

Join us for the third regional event in the Scottish Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) Cluster Pilot engagement series, delivered in partnership with Scottish Enterprise, Scottish Government, and the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS), bringing together businesses, researchers, and public partners from across Scotland’s robotics ecosystem.

This interactive session marks the start of a new national initiative to connect the full robotics supply chain - from start-ups and SMEs to universities, investors, and manufacturers - and to build a coordinated, high-impact cluster that accelerates innovation, strengthens collaboration, and drives economic growth. This session focusses on stakeholders within Aberdeen and the surrounding areas.

What to Expect

• Insights into the Scottish Cluster Scheme and the vision for the RAS Cluster
• Networking with peers, innovators, and potential collaborators from across the robotics ecosystem
• Discussions on opportunities, challenges, and priorities shaping the future of robotics in Scotland
• The chance to contribute directly to the Cluster Development Strategy and Roadmap that will guide the sector from 2026 and beyond.

Why Attend

By joining this event, you’ll:

• Help shape the direction of Scotland’s robotics and automation landscape
• Connect across the entire supply chain, from component developers to systems integrators and end users
• Gain early access to collaboration opportunities, insights, and support through the national cluster initiative
• Contribute to strengthening Scotland’s international competitiveness in robotics and autonomous systems.

Who should attend: Businesses, innovators, component suppliers, manufacturers, venture capitalists, funding bodies, researchers, educators, start-ups and SMEs, policymakers, and any stakeholders in robotics, automation, AI, or digital manufacturing within Aberdeen and the surrounding area.

Universities will be represented at a teaching/research/departmental level to balance capacity at the event and as such, students are not eligible to attend.

Please Note:

If you attended either of the stakeholder engagement events held at NMIS on 26.11.25 or The National Robotarium on 23.01.26, please do not attend the Aberdeen event, as the format will be the same.

Due to limited capacity, we may ask all organisations to limit attendance to two representatives in order to allow for a broader range of organisations to be represented at the event. In the event of this, our team will be in touch with you.

By registering for this event, you acknowledge that your personal data (such as name, job title, company, and contact details) may be shared with project partners, National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS), Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Government for the purposes of event administration, networking, and relevant post-event communications.
