In a fiercely competitive global economy, Scotland’s economic prosperity depends on our success as an outward-looking and enterprising nation. Scotland needs to set ambitious targets for growth in winning international business, and SCDI has called for a commitment to double the value of Scotland’s exports over the next decade. This is your opportunity to engage with global experts and contribute to the development of a blueprint for Scotland to achieve this goal.

Now in its second year, the SCDI Global Ambitions conference is established as the definitive international event in the Scottish business calendar.

This year’s event will provide an innovative and exciting opportunity to engage with international experts in New York, Mumbai, Hong Kong and Toronto. These highly-connected representatives, already rich in knowledge and experience of Scotland’s business presence in key markets, will interact with a core audience of 180 delegates in Edinburgh to share perspectives and discuss pointers to Scotland’s future success. This will be made possible via the leading-edge technology of Cisco TelePresence, instantly connecting Scotland with global markets.

In the next 10 years emerging markets will grow faster than developed markets, and the growth in global trade will be three times higher than global GDP growth. Emerging markets, led by China and India, are continuing to witness significantly higher economic growth as the world moves on from global recession.

The Global Ambitions conference will explore how we can best respond – to support more organisations in Scotland to internationalise, to maximise brand assets and to build a successful and sustainable reputation for Scotland in overseas markets.
