Conference Programme
Scotland’s national priority industries featured strongly within the conference programme. These are Electronic Markets, Energy, Financial Services, Food and Drink, Life Sciences and Tourism. These industries have been identified as those which can have the greatest economic impact for Scotland.
One of the primary motivations in hosting this inaugural conference was to identify ways that you as globalscots can make a significant difference in supporting Scottish companies operating within these industries in the future.
