Join Dr. Dave Hughes for the next GCoSI Deep Dive at Glasgow Science Centre, exploring entrepreneurship, invention and building deep technology in Glasgow.

Glasgow has always been a city of ideas — from engineering breakthroughs on the River Clyde to scientific and medical innovations that have shaped industries worldwide. Today, that inventive spirit is carried forward by founders, researchers and innovators turning ambitious ideas into real-world companies.

This GCoSI Deep Dive explores what it really takes to build a startup in Glasgow — tracing a line from historic invention to modern deep technology and wearable innovation. It looks beyond theory to the lived realities of spinouts, entrepreneurship and scaling technology from a Scottish base.

Join an intimate, audience-led conversation with Dr. Dave Hughes, deep-tech entrepreneur and consultant, as he reflects on his journey from academic research to company creation. Drawing on experience building wearable and sensing technologies, Dave will share the moments that mattered most, the challenges behind the headlines, and how Glasgow’s unique innovation mindset continues to shape what gets built — and how.
