As the Cluster Management Organisation for the supercluster, Technology Scotland wants to hear from organisations across the sector — photonics, quantum, semiconductors, connectivity and sensing — about the skills challenges you’re facing today and the skills you’ll need tomorrow.

Our short survey should take around 10 minutes to complete and will help build an important evidence base across key areas including:

· Skills gaps

· Recruitment barriers

· International talent

· Education pathways

· Upskilling

· Future technologies

· Government support

Your insight is hugely important. Critical Technologies are now recognised as one of the Scottish Government’s Key Strategic Industry Clusters, creating an important opportunity to build a clearer picture of the sector’s current and future skills needs.

The findings will help inform future education, workforce development and government support, helping to ensure Scotland has the talent and skills needed for the Critical Technologies Supercluster to grow and thrive.

Survey closes: Wednesday 7th October 2026.
