The Data Shed has signed a partnership with Scotland innovation centre for data and AI, The Data Lab.
It comes as the Leeds-based data engineering consultancy opens an Edinburgh base.
The partnership is The Data Lab’s first south of the border and it aims to raise the centre’s profile in England, while growing The Data Shed’s connections in Scotland.
“Further expanding into Scotland is a key focus for the business over the next year and working with The Data Lab is a critical partnership in facilitating this next step. We’re eager to be an active participant within the booming Scottish data scene and aim to add as much value as we can to best serve the data community,” said Rose Souders, Head of Marketing at The Data Shed.
“Being so closely aligned in terms of our values, especially around developing knowledge and distributing expertise, only further cements the decision to partner with The Data Lab.”
Mark Wilkinson, Director of Partnerships and Business Development at The Data Lab added:
“With a network of over 1,500 companies, public sector organisations and universities, The Data Lab is right at the heart of the Scottish and UK data ecosystems, allowing our partners to capitalise on our extensive knowledge and academic and industrial connections.
“Expanding our partnership programme into England will further strengthen our already robust network, raise awareness of what we do outside of Scotland, and introduce us to new and innovative ideas that can help support and develop the data community.
“We are excited to welcome The Data Shed to our partnership programme. Their work for the tech sector is incredible, and we look forward to delivering even more impact as our relationship grows.”
