Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many applications have been made to the Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund, and how many have been successful, broken down by postcode area.
Answer
Through the Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund, we are providing support to pivotal SMEs which is unavailable elsewhere in the UK. Due to significant demand, we doubled the Fund to £90m and have since further increased it to £120m.
We will publish the number of applications and a list of all awards through the Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund shortly broken down by Local Authority area. Our Enterprise Agencies are currently processing appeals and following this stage of the process, we will publish the details in the coming weeks.
