A fine day and fine Scottish Financial Enterprise roundtable in Edinburgh.
Scottish insurers and pension funds want to invest more in Scotland. Scotland wants this too. Investors need an investable pipeline; quicker planning decisions; and labour, mobility and housing to make things happen
Seems easier invest abroad than in UK. We need to fix this. Complex planning processes across 32 local authorities don’t help.
Big initial projects needed. The capital is there (including from other countries). Political will and scale across planning needed. Looking forward to seeing if this can happen! Role model for rest of U.K. if it does. Go for it Sandy Begbie CBE FRSE Jayne Currie Robin Tayal
Thanks to 4most and Shepherd and Wedderburn for organising and hosting. Good to been part of the team. Colin Carmichael Dan Gill Louisa Knox.
Could 4most find a way to use SME AI experience to speed up planning processes?
