DigitalBoost is Scotland’s national digital business skills training programme, delivered by Business Gateway. DigitalBoost provides local workshops, 1:1 support from a digital expert, online tutorials, and practical guides on topics including social media, cyber resilience, data analytics, digital marketing strategy and e-commerce. Another key component of the DigitalBoost service is a five-minute online health check business can take to assess their digital strengths and weaknesses.

Kate Forbes MSP, Minister for Public Finance and Digital Economy, is visiting Wonky Woolies in Kelso – a business which has benefited from DigitalBoost support – to announce a Scottish Government funding extension which will allow the programme to continue helping thousands of SMEs. The funding of £1.63m runs until 1 April 2020, with hopes that it will continue further beyond that, subject to future funding.
