The state-owned Scottish National Investment Bank (founded by N Sturgeon 2020) has so far spent £1.2bn of the £2bn taxpayer’s money allocated to it — and managed to lose £110m, with more losses coming down the pike. Among the list of failures it’s invested in:
Circularity Scotland — went into administration after £8m loss.
Krucial (satellite/digital tech) — went into administration after £4.6 million loss.
M Squared Lasers (photonics/quantum tech) SNIB’s first investment — went into administration with state bank exposed to £34–40m losses (equity + loans).
Trojan Energy (on-street EV charging) — went into administration early this year 2026 with significant portion of Bank’s £26–28 million commitment at risk.
Orbex (rocket/space launch) — went into administration early this year with Bank likely to lose all its £29.3 million exposure.
