Partnership Spotlight: Techscaler & Ceteris - Building Your Tech Journey in Forth Valley

Discover how Techscaler and Ceteris are bringing world-class startup support to Forth Valley founders. Access workspace, mentorship, and programmes locally.

Where you build matters. For founders across Forth Valley, access to the right support, workspace, and networks can make all the difference between a side project and a scaled business. That's why Techscaler has partnered with Ceteris to bring world-class startup support directly to your doorstep.

Why This Partnership Exists

You shouldn't have to leave your community to access the resources you need to succeed. Through our partnership with Ceteris, Techscaler is embedding founder-centred programmes, mentorship, and learning pathways into the heart of Forth Valley - combining national reach with deep local knowledge.

Ceteris has spent four decades supporting businesses across Central Scotland, offering more than just workspace. With 21 properties across 10 sites and hundreds of tenant businesses, they bring together physical space, business advice, training, and local networks that reinvest into the communities they serve. Now, as a Techscaler partner, they're connecting founders like you to the same high-quality support available in Scotland's larger cities - without the relocation.

What's In It For You?

Workspace That Works For You

As a Techscaler member, you'll have access to flexible coworking and meeting spaces at Falkirk Business Hub and Ceteris Alloa. These are collaborative environments where you can connect with other founders, test ideas, and build your business close to home.

Events That Connect You

From the Forth Valley MedTech Expo (delivered with NHS Forth Valley) to Forth Valley Business Week, our partnership delivers events that bring together founders, investors, healthcare professionals, and academics. These are networking events designed to create meaningful connections around the challenges and opportunities you're facing right now.

Seamless Access to National Support

If you're working with Ceteris, whether as a tenant or through their business support services, you're already connected to Techscaler. The partnership means Ceteris can refer you directly to programmes that match your growth stage and sector, making it simple to access the right support at the right time. From learning pathways and mentorship to sector-focused initiatives in medtech, edtech, energy, sustainability, and creative industries, Techscaler support is woven into the regional infrastructure you're already using.

National Reach, Local Roots

This isn't about choosing between local support and national opportunity - it's about having both. Through Ceteris, you can tap into Scotland-wide resources and programmes, including international opportunities like founder trips to Silicon Valley, while staying grounded in the Forth Valley networks that understand your business context. The partnership ensures you don't have to leave your community to access world-class founder support.

Real Founders, Real Impact

Natalie Garry, founder of DanceSing and a Ceteris tenant, joined Techscaler's International Programme and travelled to Silicon Valley with a cohort of fellow founders after being referred to us by Ceteris. She's just one example of how this partnership is opening doors for Forth Valley entrepreneurs. Read more about her founder journey in our CodeBase founder case study.

Whether you're in medtech, building an edtech platform, or launching a sustainability venture, this collaboration is designed to meet you where you are, and help you get where you want to go.

What Ceteris Says

"The partnership between Ceteris and Techscaler represents a shared vision to foster a vibrant startup ecosystem across the Forth Valley. It combines Ceteris' strength in providing premium workspace solutions and business support to offer a more tailored service for tech innovators. The collaboration offers events, mentorship, and Techscaler's renowned courses and programmes to help Forth Valley founders grow their businesses.
We have been delighted to refer Ceteris tenants and business support clients to the Techscaler programme, including Natalie Garry, founder of DanceSing. She joined the Techscaler International Programme, delivered by CodeBase, travelling to Silicon Valley with a cohort of fellow founders and is just one example of the benefits our partnership with Techscaler has delivered to our business community."

Maggie Gorman, Business Support and Development Director, Ceteris
