Paragraph: 56
Mandate regular contact between Edinburgh Hub and SDI to avoid duplication of business support
Recommendation
We welcome additional trading support provided for Scottish businesses through the recently established UK Government Trade and Investment Hub in Edinburgh. The UK Government Edinburgh Hub and Scottish Development International (SDI) must maintain regular contact with each other to ensure that the support provided to businesses by both organisations is complementary and not a duplication. We note the UK’s overseas network has a significantly larger footprint than SDI with an opportunity for the Hub and the Department for Business and Trade to support Scottish businesses wishing to expand into these markets and work with those not covered by SDI’s smaller footprint.
