Scottish Enterprise

Scottish Enterprise is Scotland's main economic agency for enterprise, innovation and investment. Its mission is to encourage economic growth in Scotland by supporting business growth and developing the business environment.

Its key priorities are:

• to provide a range of high-quality services to help new high-growth businesses

• to support and develop existing businesses

• to help Scottish businesses and industries to develop a strong presence in the global economy

• to build on Scotland's reputation as a great place to live, work and do business

It aims to build a world-class economy based on Scotland’s key industries, in particular, energy, life sciences, tourism, financial services, food, drink and digital markets and enabling technologies.

In addition to companies and individuals, Scottish Enterprise works with universities, colleges, local authorities and other public sector bodies to achieve these goals.

Covering the southern half of Scotland from the Grampians to the Borders, it is largely funded by the Scottish Government, although it also raises part of its budget from other sources.
