For over half a century Scotland has consistently demonstrated global leadership in Computer Science research, with our research cluster rivaling Boston, Pittsburgh, Kyoto and Silicon Valley. Informatics in Edinburgh is confirmed as the best Computer Science department in the United Kingdom and one of Europe’s largest research centres. But despite this thought leadership, Scotland has never produced a global software company of scale. Informatics Ventures is ambitiously trying to change this through nurturing an entrepreneurial ecosystem where positive attitudes, skills and networks thrive. Informatics Ventures is a partnership of the University of Edinburgh, Scottish Enterprise and the European Regional Development Fund.

On the day the large Hadron Collider was switched on again and started producing some of the world’s most expensive (but not very good) spirograph pictures we thought we should celebrate science somehow. Please note, there is some (well perhaps a lot) of swearing in the video and that is not something we normally approve of at all but if you can cope with that, carry on.
So we want to salute Professor Brian Cox and his eternal quest to understand the universe, popularise physics and get people to understand science. Anyone, when interviewed about the possibility of the Large Hadron Collider being switched on and causing a black hole, who says, “Anyone who thinks the LHC will destroy the world is a twat.” Daily Telegraph, is OK by us.
The Wonders of the Solar System series is simply genius television and has kept us glued to the box on Sunday evening. Don’t worry if you have missed it, here, in just three minutes, you get the whole series without all the detailed scientific explanation. Just don’t blame me if he seems to have developed a potty mouth. You have been warned. Enjoy.
There are a lot of big 3i fish collecting in the Frog Capital pond these days – today they announced Stephen Lowery has joined as a Partner.
Stephen began his career with PA Consulting in its Global Technology Group before joining 3i as a Director of Venture and then Growth Capital. In over seven years with 3i, he led or was closely involved in investments in a wide range of European IT and cleantech companies, such as Icera, Nujira and Light Blue Optics, and in many profitable exits, including Respond, Insensys and UbiNetics. A Cambridge Engineering graduate, Stephen also represented 3i on the board of The Cambridge Network.
Stephen’s experience extends to private equity secondary transactions, corporate spinouts and restructurings. Recently, he has been working on debt-to-equity conversions with one of the UK’s leading banking groups.
Mike Reid, Managing Partner of Frog Capital, said: “Stephen was one of 3i’s up and coming stars and is a fantastic catch for Frog. He’s a rare animal: great track record, extremely bright, with a highly practical, personable style that I know has been much appreciated by colleagues and by all the CEOs he worked with.”
Stephen Lowery added: “I am delighted to be joining both Frog and Mike Reid, with whom I have worked for many years. The availability and flexibility of Frog’s fund, makes it an ideal investor in the current market. The portfolio, which includes real heavyweights such as SiC Processing, eCommera and agri-capital, is testament to Frog’s ambition to invest in and support some of Europe’s best entrepreneurs and fastest growing companies.”
First Class! It was a superb event. I gained a tremendous amount of insight and made some excellent contacts.
I have enjoyed the events I’ve been to, and particularly the breadth of people/companies I’ve met, and the insight that you personally bring from having such a good UK network.
A great forum to discuss relevant challenges that face entrepreneurs in their quest for success.
Of all the networking events I have attended, the BLN approach delivered the best environment for getting to know a number of high quality entrepreneurial CEO’s by getting the right balance in terms of numbers and types of attendees and the right agenda/duration for the event.
