Scottish Development International

Scottish Development International is a joint venture between the Scottish Executive and Scottish Enterprise.

Its vision is to fully integrate Scotland's international economic development activities.

Under the umbrella of "Smart Successful Scotland" - the new strategy to make Scotland a key economic player in the 21st century - comes "The Global Connections" strategy, reflecting the radical changes needed for Scotland to prosper in the new age of the knowledge economy.
In the past "Locate in Scotland" acted as a one-stop-shop for inward investment. Separately, "Scottish Trade International" supported exports. Both bodies achieved much, but times have changed. Scottish Development International merges these two complimentary activities with added value services. We will still actively continue to attract overseas investors into Scotland, and encourage and support Scottish companies to expand overseas, but we will provide additional services to those already offered.

Recognition of this need for change has been driven by technological advance, commercial evolution and the creation of a true global economy.
Scotland's key messages are twofold. Not only is it a world-renowned centre for innovation, research and technology, but it's also a great place to live and work.
