Connecting Scotland to the World
Scottish International Week has established itself as an important platform for bringing together Scotland's business community with entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders and decision-makers from across the globe.
Organised by the Scottish Business Network (SBN), the initiative was created to celebrate Scotland's international connections, showcase the country's business expertise and encourage greater collaboration between Scottish businesses and global markets.
Since its early editions in 2018, Scottish International Week has grown into a programme of international discussions, networking opportunities, thought leadership and business events, connecting individuals and organisations who share a commitment to Scotland's economic success.
Over the years, the programme has explored some of the most important opportunities and challenges facing Scottish businesses, from international trade and investment to innovation, technology, leadership and sustainability.
A Proven History of International Engagement
Scottish International Week has a strong track record of bringing together influential voices and connecting businesses across borders.
The 2018 programme featured 50 events across 12 locations, with 60 international speakers contributing their expertise. In 2020, the initiative expanded its digital reach, delivering 65 events and attracting registrations from 45 countries.
Scottish International Week has continued to evolve, combining virtual discussions with in-person events and international partnerships to make its programme accessible to audiences in Scotland and overseas.
Each edition builds on SBN's commitment to helping Scottish businesses think internationally, develop meaningful relationships and unlock new opportunities for growth.
