SMART: SCOTLAND award from Scottish Enterprise

Scottish Enterprise, Scotland's national economic development agency, awarded APEC International a SMART: SCOTLAND grant in April 2025 for an 18-month feasibility study, run from the company's Edinburgh office.

The award followed APEC's proposal "AI-Enhanced Non-Invasive Estimation of Coronary Artery Diameter in Severe Stenosis for Clinical Integration Across Diverse Populations". It funded the work presented at the ESC Digital & AI Summit in November 2025, and joins the Innovate UK ICURE and QRNF funding that started the company in 2022.
