Economically speaking, scale-ups deliver far greater value than their size suggests. Whilst they make up just 1% of SME firms, the ‘sub-sector’ accounts for 8% of SME employment and 22% of SME turnover.

Scotland has just over 2,100 scale-ups, with a pipeline of another 1,000. The current turnover of these organisations totals just over £41bn.

Linux, Debian, and Ubuntu are the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy of modern application development. The Captain Kirk, Linux, is the open-source central code for directing and talking to hardware. Debian sits as the trio’s Spock, the original distro that can be seen as more complex to install and use. As a Debian child distro, Ubuntu is the McCoy, helping to heal the challenges that people have when trying to use Debian.
