What we do: Key Services

The focus of the IA Centre's activity is to raise awareness of intellectual assets within organisations of all sizes and sectors across Scotland. The Centre delivers regular workshops and seminars, and provides information on a host of IA issues. In addition, we offer tailored support to individual organisations, signposting them to relevant private and public sector support as appropriate.

Who does the IA centre work with?

The primary focus of our work is on Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs ), typically with less than 250 employees. However, we work with organisations of all sizes from the private, voluntary and public sectors.
