Creators Courtyard
The Creators Courtyard returns for TecTonic 2026, offering a vibrant marketplace that showcases 16 of Scotland’s hottest entrepreneurial talents, including creative, artisanal, food & drink brands and early-stage startups from the region.
It’s a prime opportunity for businesses to showcase and sell their products, connect with new customers, and tap into Scotland’s thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
On the night, you’ll be able to meet the people behind these brilliant businesses, explore their products, sample some of what they have to offer, and pick up some great Scottish-made goods. Some of our Courtyard businesses will be trading throughout the evening, so come ready to discover something new and support local entrepreneurs.
Set in the outdoor space of Barras Art and Design (BAaD), adjacent to the historic Barras Market, the Courtyard pays homage to Scotland’s heritage of craftsmanship, community, and business hustle whilst looking forward to emerging innovations.
Take a look through the businesses featured below, explore their websites and social channels, and start planning who you want to discover when you arrive at TecTonic.
Who’s
where
Thank you for shopping small and thinking big.
Indoors you’ll find the tech ecosystem — founders, studios, programmes and the people who back them. Out in the courtyard, fifteen independent Scottish makers and producers. The night ends, but they keep going — follow them, order from them, tell someone else about them.
- Something to take home: free headshots at SocialPaps (spot 13), caricatures at spot 10, and face painting by the stage.
- Mentor Zone is on the left as you come in, next to the bar. The mezzanine and mood bar are on the first floor.
- Several in the courtyard are trading tonight, not just showing. Bring a card — signal in the yard can be patchy.
- Courtyard tables 2 and 3 are licensed. ID may be requested.
- Want an introduction to a founder? Speak to any of the team members and volunteers — they’re around all night.
