Trade and investment envoys

Trade and investment envoys are a key part of Scotland’s international business network. They promote international trade and investment interests and strengthen local market knowledge in the countries and sectors they represent.

The trade and investment envoy network was established in 2017 and is made up of appointees who work in a non-political capacity. They report to the Minister for Business and are supported by the Directorate for International Trade and Investment.
