Other speakers include Amali de Alwis, the managing director of Microsoft for Startups, at the event which runs on October 28 and 29.
Mr Watt said: “I have long admired Sir Tom as a businessman and philanthropist, we share the same view that business should be a force for good so am looking forward to discussing what startups can do to make a positive impact on our planet together.”
Sir Tom, the entrepreneur turned philanthropist who runs The Hunter Foundation, said: “Startup Summit is a fantastic learning opportunity at a time when we really need to drive new businesses forward; our economy will sink or swim dependent on our ability to drive growth by fostering more startups and scaleups.
“James Watt typifies the brilliant nature of entrepreneurs who always pivot; jump over hurdles and grow massively whilst caring for their people and our planet. His chat will be, as ever, inspirational.”
The Ellon-based firm was started by co-founders James and Martin Dickie in 2007.
