We are excited to welcome Peter McBride, Patent Attorney and Founder of Scintilla, to the Technology Scotland Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is comprised of some of the leading figures in Scotland’s technology industry, and the board is looking forward to having the benefit of Peter’s knowledge, insight, and expertise.

The Technology Scotland team have an incredible enthusiasm and drive to represent and assist the Enabling Technology sector and we are excited about playing a part in supporting them.
Our own perspective of the Enabling Technology sector comes from our team of electronic engineers and physicists who provide the in-depth expertise needed to effectively protect our clients’ technical innovations, and from advising a mix of large corporations, Universities, and SMEs which gives us valuable insights into how innovation works in different contexts.
We very much look forward to sharing our insights and ideas with the Technology Scotland community for the benefit of everyone!”
Stephen Taylor, CEO of Technology Scotland said, “We are delighted to welcome Scintilla as a Corporate Sponsor of Technology Scotland. Companies working within the £4Bn Scottish Enabling Technology Sector are responsible for around 20% of all R&D spend in Scotland, making it one of the most creative, dynamic, and innovative industrial ecosystems in the Scottish economy. Our members develop a huge amount of IP, and through this new relationship, Technology Scotland members can enjoy improved access to Scintilla and their refreshing approach to IP protection.
We very much look forward to working with Scintilla on our joint mission to help the Scottish Technology Sector flourish!”
