Scotland CAN DO: Business Innovation Forum

Inactive

This group is no longer active.

Overview

We created the Scotland CAN DO: Business Innovation Forum to agree actions in support of a more innovative business culture. This was part of a reformatting of the previous Scotland CAN DO: Innovation Forum.

Led by the Minister for Trade, Investment and Innovation, the Forum supports the improvement of Scotland’s business innovation performance by:

  • providing scrutiny and challenge of progress against the Innovation Action Plan and actions arising from the innovation chapter of the Enterprise and Skills Review
  • considering and providing advice on the potential impacts of emerging and longer term trends and issues on business innovation
