International Scotland

CMS Scotland is delighted to be working with the Fraser of Allander Institute on a globally-focused thought leadership campaign for Scotland’s business community.

Focused on providing a platform to promote economic growth, International Scotland was launched last year with an initial report setting out the opportunities for growth across key sectors such as sustainable tourism, food & drink, life sciences and renewable energy. This was followed by a series of engagements across the nation with business leaders, Scottish Government ministers and policy groups.

The latest report, which reflects the core viewpoints raised within these discussions, sets out the potential benefits of Scottish Government ministers implementing focused policies to support the nation’s key sectors.

A full copy of the International Scotland report can be found here.

The International Scotland report amplifies the call from the business community for increased focus from the Scottish Government with innovative policies that will help generate further investment and promote economic growth. Along with the many business leaders and organisations involved in this initiative, we believe this approach will enable Scotland to capitalise on its advantageous position and become a world leader in the green economy and in other key industry sectors.
Allan Wernham, Managing Director, CMS Scotland

This latest report is the culmination of wide-ranging discussions we’ve held with business leaders from across Scotland, economic and policy groups, and Scottish Government ministers. The key findings in the report reflect both the opportunities that lie ahead as well as the challenges that we need to address in growing our economy and provide a useful focus for the new administration at Holyrood. This includes the development of the green economy where Scotland has a huge advantage through its natural resources and a strong emerging skills base thanks to the efforts of our education institutions.
