Chemical Sciences in Scotland
In October 2007 the Scottish chemicals industry launched its Strategy and Action Plan. The Strategic Plan is the outcome of an industry-led, Scottish Enterprise-supported initiative, to safeguard and develop the chemical sector in Scotland.
The objective is “to ensure that a vibrant and competitive chemicals industry exists in Scotland in 20 years time”.
The aims of the strategy will be achieved by implementing a 10-point plan covering five topics – sustainability, innovation, skills, reputation and investment. 80 high-level industrialists and academics are actively involved in the delivery of the industry strategy through these five topic groups.
