SFC Innovation Centres Programme
Funds Scottish innovation centres hosted by universities to translate academic insight into commercial partnerships.
SFC funds four Innovation Centres: BE-ST (built environment/zero carbon), The Data Lab (data and AI), DHI (digital health and care), and IBioIC (industrial biotechnology). Each receives £2M/year in core SFC funding. Industry engages via membership and collaborative project routes run autonomously by each centre — private companies do not apply directly to SFC.
