The Institute for System Level Integration (ISLI) has partnered with an offshoot
from EDA company Mentor Graphics Corp., called Cre8Ventures, to provide access
to Mentor Graphics EDA software to startups for free.
The software will be hosted at iSLI's Alba Centre campus (Livingston,
Scotland) where there is already close collaboration with Scottish Enterprise
and The Alba Innovation Centre to provide support services to companies. ISLI is
a high-level research institute sponsored by four Scottish universities.
