City of London Corporation

As co-promoter of the Scotland Investment Summit 2025, the City of London Corporation brings centuries of financial leadership and global economic diplomacy to Edinburgh. Responsible for governing London’s historic Square Mile—the beating heart of the UK’s financial sector—the Corporation plays a vital role in shaping the UK’s reputation as a world-leading centre for finance, innovation, and investment.

The City of London Corporation is uniquely positioned to connect capital with opportunity. Through its global outreach, policy influence, and market expertise, it acts as a bridge between the UK and international markets. Its strategic backing of the Summit reflects a shared belief in the strength of Scotland’s innovation economy and its relevance to the global investment community.

With a sharp focus on sustainable finance, green infrastructure, and fintech, the Corporation is actively driving the UK’s net zero and digital ambitions. These priorities strongly align with the Summit’s key themes—making this partnership a natural fit. Whether through high-level ministerial dialogue or investor engagement, the City’s involvement will be central to unlocking new collaborations across borders.

The Corporation’s leadership, represented by The Lord Mayor of London, will play a high-profile role throughout the Summit—hosting events, welcoming delegates, and reinforcing the UK’s collective message: Scotland is open for business, and the time to invest is now.
