Wilson's Foundry Studio Programme
The Glasgow City Innovation District Venture Studio has launched Wilson's Foundry as part of our Make pillar. Wilson’s Foundry is a world-first, unique studio-based approach to support new enterprises.
This initiative brings together three established GCID creative studios—Graven, Spreng Thomson, and Threesixty Architecture—to drive economic impact through a collaborative approach that combines expertise, networks, and hands-on resources.
During a four-month residency, successful applicants will be located in high-quality studios within Graven, Spreng Thomson and Threesixty Architecture and will benefit from top-level coaching and tailored mentoring and gain access to other innovators, potential investors and the practical tools needed to build successful product or service driven businesses.
