About the Summit
Scotland’s Global Investment Summit 2025
Scotland's legacy of innovation and global leadership has helped shape the worlds of finance, life sciences, and renewable energy. Today, we’re focused on ensuring international investors not only recognise our historic impact but also see the scale of opportunity that lies ahead.
Scotland today stands at the forefront of the global net zero transition, with investible energy projects worth tens of billions of pounds across the country. These projects encompass a varied range of renewable technologies, from offshore wind and tidal energy to hydrogen production and carbon capture, offering substantial opportunities for sustainable investment.
Scotland’s innovative life-sciences sector is a leader in health tech and research, with the industry now worth more than £10bn to the Scottish economy. This sector thrives on a collaborative ecosystem of universities, research institutions, and innovative companies, driving advancements in areas like drug discovery, medical devices, and digital health solutions.
Scotland’s Global Investment Summit 2025 promoted by the City of London Corporation and Scottish Financial Enterprise, supported by the Scottish and UK governments, along with a wide range of partners, will provide investors with a unique insight and direct connections to the opportunities that can be found in our key sectors.
Scotland isn’t just preparing for the future, it’s building it.
