Why Scicasts?
Launched in August 2009, Scicasts is a fast-growing science and technology trade news network, supplying daily breaking news, business reports and analysis produced in partnership with world-leading analysts, corporations, trade associations and institutions.
With over 500,000 monthly pageviews, Scicasts was built on a simple idea: save its audience time and money from searching and subscribing to large numbers of science and technology publications and newsletters. Instead, Scicasts brings its readers all of the essential news from across the web into a single portal through leading partner networks and its own press sources.
Scicasts targets and connects directly with influencers and leaders in key science and technology sectors, including senior executives, decision makers and senior researchers, as well as sci-tech entrepreneurs, corporations and investors.
