Earlier in December we announced a competition offering 5 exhibition spaces at Data Talent Scotland for startup companies looking to recruit data professionals. Today, after much deliberations, we are delighted to announce these winners. The competition was incredibly tough this year. The startup landscape in Scotland has really come into its own in recent years and this was evident in the strength and depth of entrants. Competitors ranged from all over Scotland, and meandered between many different sectors. A fantastic sight for any individual interested in data, but especially so for those seeking employment.
