The solution to long bar queues at major sports and music events is one step closer to reality, thanks to an Aberdeen start-up’s ambition to provide self-service drink dispensers capable of pouring perfect pints in seconds.
EBar Initiatives, the company behind this innovative concept, was awarded £75,000 to support further product development and market trials at the Scottish EDGE awards last week. The event, held at the Edinburgh headquarters of the Royal Bank of Scotland, saw a celebration of Scotland’s entrepreneurial talent with some of the country’s most innovative businesses pitching to win funding from a £1m prize pot.
