Scotland's National Strategy for Economic Transformation
Sets out the priorities for Scotland’s economy as well as the actions needed to maximise the opportunities of the next decade to achieve our vision of a wellbeing economy.
Acknowledgements
Developing this strategy has been a significant and collective effort and we are grateful for the advice, expertise and insight received from many quarters.
There were more than 260 responses to our semi-formal consultation which set out the challenges we face and offered creative and ambitious solutions for the economy we want to see going forward.
Industry Leadership Groups, Regional Economic Partnerships, the Enterprise and Skills Strategic Board along with our enterprise and skills agencies helped us shape and test our vision, approach and actions.
We have worked closely with business organisation representatives and a wide range of stakeholders to ensure those interests are reflected in the strategy.
The recommendations from the recent citizens' assemblies have also been considered throughout the development of the strategy.
Lastly, the support and guidance of the Advisory Council for Economic Transformation has been invaluable in guiding the programmes which collectively will transform the Scottish economy.
