The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Observatory is a collaboration between the Fraser of Allander Institute and the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Innovation at the University of Strathclyde. On this page, you will find:

  • Our annual report
  • Our discussion series and relevant blogs
  • Our interactive FAME data dashboard
  • And our downloadable data bank which brings together many sources of public data on the entrepreneurship and innovation landscape. 

FAME Data Dashboard

This interactive dashboard uses Bureau van Dijk’s FAME data to provide information on companies in Scotland. In the dashboard, you will find the top 100 companies registered in Scotland by turnover and number of employees, a list of companies with turnover between £5 and £10 million registered in Scotland, and the top 100 companies in Scotland by turnover growth rate over the last five years.

If you would like to see more on this dashboard, please get in touch with your requests. We will be updating the dashboard annually.

Click the arrows at the bottom right of the dashboard to expand to full screen. For best results, please view on desktop.

EIO Data Bank

Our data bank brings together publicly available data from the Scottish and UK Governments, the ONS and more in one convenient downloadable spreadsheet.
