A global network, connected by Scotland
Our community brings together people with knowledge, experience and connections across Scotland and around the world to create a network that members can tap into wherever opportunities take them.
Local knowledge. Global connections.
Our Ambassadors are experienced business leaders based around the world who give their time, expertise and networks to help strengthen the SBN community.
Where connections happen
SBN brings people together through events, conversations, introductions and shared opportunities that creates the environment for relationships to develop and opportunities to emerge.

Regular events in Scotland, London, internationally and online bring our community together.
-
Tell the community what you're looking for — a connection, advice, expertise, an opportunity or help entering a new market.
-
Members share their knowledge, experience and networks to help others move forward.
The best connections often start with a conversation. Our role is to create more opportunities for those conversations to happen.
Come and meet the community
From informal meetups and roundtables to international programmes and major events, SBN creates regular opportunities to meet people, share ideas and build meaningful relationships.

SBN exists to create connections and opportunities that benefit Scotland.
By bringing together people and businesses in Scotland with our international community, we help knowledge, relationships and opportunities flow in both directions, opening doors for Scottish businesses around the world while helping people overseas connect, contribute and do business with Scotland.
When our members succeed, participate and help each other, they strengthen the network and increase what that network can do for Scotland.
