Scotland is open to you
How will Brexit affect investment and trade with Scotland? Regardless of the outcome of Brexit, EU policy and regulation will continue to shape our future business environment. We’re actively engaged in European networks and continue to strengthen our relationships in EU markets, backed by partners, Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise, our international networks and innovation hubs.
We’re open to sharing our learning and expertise to support policy and funding developments that will create opportunities for businesses, universities, colleges and communities across Scotland.
We’re also supporting Scotland’s enterprise and skills agencies to help businesses, whether based in Scotland or setting up operations here, to actively develop and implement their own Brexit plans. This means building resilience and supporting investment in people, technology and markets that will pay dividends longer term.
