Spotlighting Scotland’s Global Innovation Story

Join Richard Lochhead MSP, Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise, in conversation with Russell Dalgleish, Chair of Scottish Business Network, as they explore why Scotland is stepping onto the global stage with its first Scottish Innovation Week.

Scotland has always been a land of discovery, renowned for inventions that shaped the modern world. Today, our innovators are tackling challenges in climate tech, agritech, biotech, and space, building on centuries of ingenuity with fresh energy and ambition. But too often, the world doesn’t hear this story and sometimes, neither do we at home.

This session is a call to action: to celebrate, to connect, and to build momentum. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, researcher, policymaker, or part of the Scottish diaspora, this is your chance to see how Scotland is innovating for the world and how you can be part of it.
