• New GoDaddy data shows a surge in microbusiness activity across the Scottish Highlands since season two of The Traitors aired in January 2024
• The constituency of Caithness, Sutherland, and Easter Ross – home to Ardross Castle, where The Traitors is filmed – has seen an impressive uplift of 53% in its microbusiness density rate, the number of small businesses per 100 residents
• Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey also grew its microbusiness density rate from 0.76 in 2024 to 1.34 in 2025, an increase of 76%
• The new data comes from the GoDaddy Small Business Research Lab, which analyses over 600,000 British small businesses
• The Traitors became a cultural phenomenon in season two, near doubling its viewing figures to 6.9 million on average, compared to 3.4 million in season one

The Traitors has sparked an entrepreneurial drive in the Scottish Highlands, as new GoDaddy data reveals a dramatic growth in small business activity since the show’s second season aired in January 2024.

The new data comes from the GoDaddy Small Business Research Lab, an international research initiative that studies the economic impact of more than 600,000 small businesses in the UK, as well as the attitudes of their owners. Each constituency in the UK receives a microbusiness density count by mapping the concentration of microbusiness owners against local population sizes.

Jamie Stone, MP for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross, praised the show for bringing millions of pounds and jobs to the Scottish Highlands, and GoDaddy data demonstrates the economic impact across the region.

Ardross Castle constituency sees 53% rise in Microbusiness Density

The Traitors is filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, within the constituency of Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross. The constituency has increased its Microbusiness Density from 0.65 (before the first series aired) to 0.99 today, representing an impressive 53% uplift.

The uplift reflects how a cultural phenomenon parallels real-world opportunity for growth in new businesses across sectors such as tourism, hospitality, transport, and local goods and services among others.

GoDaddy data suggests a wider ripple effect across the Highlands

The Highland constituency of Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey has grown its microbusiness density by an impressive 76% since season two, whilst Ross, Skye and Lochaber experienced strong growth of 66%.

Highland growth has matched – and in some cases outpaced – key economic centres including Glasgow South West (+69%), Edinburgh South West (+73%), Leeds Central (+44%), and Bristol West (+61%).

According to further research from GoDaddy and Frontier Economics, the growth of digital microbusinesses delivers measurable benefits to the wider economy. A 10% increase in digital microbusiness density is linked to an average rise of £360 in median annual pay, 5.1 additional jobs per thousand residents, and over £26 million in additional GDP for a typical local authority of 200,000 people. This constituency-level growth reflects broader economic benefits associated with rising digital microbusiness activity

Alexandra Rosen, Economist and Head of the GoDaddy Small Business Research Lab, said:

“Major TV moments can act like an economic spark for the places they spotlight. While the business of filming provides a short-term boost to local economies, the real opportunity lies as viewers become inspired to visit and book experiences to get a taste of what they have seen on screen, or local residents become inspired to pursue passions and fulfil local and widespread demands. It is inspiring to see that a surge in attention is being paralleled by entrepreneurs across the Scottish Highlands, delivering benefits to their local economies.”

In this episode of The Intersection Podcast, Anuj Mehrotra, dean of the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business, moderates a special conversation with Beril Toktay, founding faculty director of the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business (Center), and Andre Calmon, the Center’s current faculty director. Together, they reflect on more than a decade of impact and explore what lies ahead for sustainable business education at Georgia Tech.

The conversation begins with a look back at the Center’s founding and the vision that shaped its early work. Toktay shares insights into building the Center from the ground up, the importance of embedding sustainability into core business education, and how the Center has helped position Scheller as a leader in applied, impact-driven sustainability.

She also reflects on milestones that have defined the Center’s first decade, including experiential student programming, which is at the heart of Scheller’s mission. Student opportunities – such as the Carbon Reduction Challenge, the Sustainability Fellows and Ambassadors program, and the Sustainable Business Consulting Practicum. These opportunities have connected students with real-world challenges, shaped career pathways, and strengthened industry partnerships. Toktay also highlights the Drawdown Georgia Business Compact as a powerful example of the Center’s convening role, bringing together companies across the state to accelerate practical climate solutions while strengthening Georgia Tech’s connection to the business community.

Calmon brings a unique perspective, having worked with the Center for nearly six years as affiliated faculty before stepping into the faculty director role. He reflects on the Center’s influence across campus and throughout Georgia’s business ecosystem, noting how its collaborative, applied approach has helped translate sustainability from theory into practice, while remaining deeply grounded in local impact.

The conversation then turns to the present and future. Toktay discusses her transition to executive director of the Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems and the opportunities for continued collaboration across Georgia Tech’s sustainability ecosystem.

As part of its Wesco Cares community engagement program, Wesco Anixter donated nearly 1,000 meters of electrical cable to In-Comm Training to support hands-on technical education for students and apprentices pursuing careers in the electrical industry. The donation strengthens practical learning environments by providing real-world materials for installation, termination and testing exercises. Delivery of the cable was generously sponsored by Maxi Haulage.

In-Comm Training supports learners and employers through technical training programs that build job-ready capability across electrical, engineering and manufacturing disciplines. Working with education providers and industry partners, In-Comm helps ensure training environments reflect the tools, materials and expectations students will encounter on job sites.

Wesco Anixter’s donation reflects its commitment to supporting local communities and developing the next generation of skilled electrical professionals. By supplying cable suited for workshop environments and training rigs, Wesco Anixter is helping In-Comm expand learning opportunities that prepare students for future employment.

“We’re proud to support In-Comm Training by donating cable that can be used to develop the next generation of electrical talent,” said Stuart Wyness, Director Sales U.K. Construction & Industrial at Wesco Anixter. “Providing access to real-world materials early in training is critical to helping apprentices build confidence, capability and readiness for on-site work.”

In addition to supporting education, the donation also reflects Wesco Anixter’s commitment to responsible resource management. Much of the cable provided to In-Comm Training would have been sent for recycling. This initiative helps extend the useful life of materials while helping reduce waste.

As demand for copper continues to grow, responsible stock management and reclamation practices play an important role. By redirecting usable cable into education, Wesco Anixter is maximizing material value while promoting recycling and circular economy principles.

“This donation will allow us to further support our learners’ development by giving them hands-on experience with a wider range of cable types and sizes than they would normally encounter at this stage,” said Simon Wood, Engineering Instructor at In-Comm Training. “Learners will have the opportunity to work with heavier cable reels and understand key handling techniques early in their apprenticeship, which is a vital step in becoming an electrician. Working with a local supplier is incredibly positive, and we are very grateful to Wesco Anixter U.K. for their support in helping us shape the future of the industry.”

SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 2, 2026 /3BL/ – Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announced the launch of Keysight SBOM Manager, a new solution designed to help organizations meet growing global cybersecurity and software transparency requirements, led by the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The solution provides a unified approach to generating, managing, and using Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for digital products, enabling organizations to meet regulatory obligations with greater accuracy, confidence, and consistency across the product lifecycle.

Cybersecurity regulations worldwide are converging on a common expectation: manufacturers must understand, manage, and disclose the components within their digital products, including software and firmware. Regulations such as the EU CRA, U.S. Executive Order 14028, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cybersecurity requirements for medical devices, and emerging frameworks in Asia are making SBOMs a foundational requirement for market access, regulatory approval, and customer trust worldwide.

Keysight SBOM Manager is designed to support this shift by addressing the practical challenges organizations face as SBOM requirements expand. The solution enables broader and more accurate visibility into digital products by analyzing binary software, firmware, containers, and other packaged components, including closed-source and deeply embedded dependencies. It continuously correlates SBOMs with multiple authoritative vulnerability sources, intelligently filters out vulnerabilities that are not applicable, and supports the use of Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX). This enables teams to focus on meaningful risk rather than being overwhelmed by raw vulnerability data.

In addition, Keysight SBOM Manager supports secure and scalable sharing of SBOMs and vulnerability information through controlled, role-based access and version tracking, helping organizations meet regulatory and customer transparency expectations. Built-in validation and normalization help ensure SBOMs align with evolving standards and regulatory minimum requirements, while support for SBOM consumers enables organizations to ingest, manage, and map SBOMs to deployed digital assets, connecting transparency directly to real operational environments.

Naoki Shimazaki, Fourth Design Department, Director, Software-Defined Solutions Division, Connective Engineering Division, Hitachi Industry & Control Solutions, Ltd., said: “The use of SBOMs is becoming an essential element in monitoring system security risks, including software composition management and supply chain risk management. We believe that solutions such as these, which enable visibility into system components and support vulnerability impact analysis, have significant potential to strengthen organizations’ cybersecurity efforts.”

Dmitry Raidman, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, CyBeats, said: “While companies innovate at the speed of AI, they must also put tighter governance and stronger controls in place, especially as modern products increasingly rely on open source, third-party components, and AI-assisted development. Supply chain transparency and accountability are now paramount. To meet growing global regulations, organizations need the ability to continuously generate trustworthy SBOMs, correlate them with actionable vulnerability intelligence, apply VEX to reduce noise, and automate response workflows at scale. As transparency expectations expand across software, AI, cryptography, and hardware, visibility into the full digital product stack is becoming essential for secure-by-design development, regulatory readiness, and customer trust.”

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions at Keysight, said: “As cybersecurity regulations mature, SBOMs are becoming a prerequisite for doing business globally. Keysight SBOM Manager helps organizations meet these requirements with confidence by bringing accuracy, consistency, and scalability to SBOM generation and management.”

The EU CRA, which comes into force in 2026, requires manufacturers of connected digital products to implement cybersecurity risk management, maintain SBOMs, and report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours. Similar expectations are already in place through U.S. Executive Order 14028 and FDA cybersecurity guidance, while regulators in India, Japan, and South Korea are formalizing SBOM requirements across regulated sectors. Failure to comply can result in penalties, delayed approvals, recalls, or restricted market access.

By bringing together accurate SBOM generation for digital products, continuous vulnerability intelligence, secure sharing, data quality assurance, prioritization, and consumer-side visibility in a single platform, Keysight SBOM Manager helps organizations reduce regulatory risk, improve vulnerability response, and build greater trust across global digital supply chains.
