Building to last – Edinburgh
10 Apr 2025
THE BUSINESS Events
The Business, Scotland’s leading independent business publication, takes a considered and informed stance on Scotland’s business and the economy.
In our 2025 Deals and Dealmaking morning events series, corporate leaders, business experts, and guests can deliver unique insights and insider knowledge in practical sessions.
The gatherings in 2025 will also be an excellent and friendly opportunity to network with professional advisers, funding partners, and business owners from across Scotland.
The format typically involves a welcome from Kenny Kemp, Editor of The Business magazine, a brief background introduction from the guest speakers, and a Q&A session with contributions from the attendees.
The aim is to end the morning session in a timely manner so that it does not impinge on the working day.

The Merchant’s House in George Square, Glasgow
Without a doubt, Glasgow is Scotland’s commercial business dynamo. The nation’s success depends on Glasgow’s muscle and productivity. The recent focus on innovation districts, university spinouts, advanced manufacturing and the space sector are all reasons for optimism. But how will international private sector investment collaborate with public sector finance to build the infrastructure, such as the Clyde Metro?

Venue tbc, Aberdeen
Aberdeen is the chosen home of GB Energy. This is a massive boost for the North-East of Scotland. But what are the nuts and bolts of its involvement with the UK’s green energy revolution?
