About the event

At the Scaling Up Summit, the Scottish National Investment Bank, The Times & The Sunday Times Scotland brought together leaders of business who have successfully navigated the landscape of scaling up a business alongside investors who understand the transformational changes, skillset, support and accelerated capital required to meet these levels of growth.

The Summit looked at

• How to navigate the challenges and opportunities of scaling businesses in unique economic circumstances
• How these challenges and opportunities relate to women-led businesses
• About what it is that investors are looking for in scaling businesses
• The opportunities for growth in the Scottish market

“There is a clear opportunity for Scotland to convert many growing businesses into ones that can achieve global scale, building on our long heritage as a society of innovators."
Willie Watt
Chair, Scottish National Investment Bank
