Findbusinesssupport.gov.scot contains hundreds of products, services and events from Scotland’s enterprise and skills agencies, and will be further developed to host content from across Scotland’s public sector.
The new site is one of the commitments in the refreshed plan, which was launched by Economy Secretary Derek Mackay at a business breakfast in Edinburgh. The plan also includes:
Mr Mackay said:
“The refreshed Economic Action Plan sets out how we will tackle the climate emergency, grow an inclusive economy, and face up to the challenges of Brexit, changing demographics and shifting global circumstances.
“I want to ensure that we continue to support innovation, improve skills and stimulate growth in employment. We must do all this while also contributing towards our ambitious net-zero targets.
“A key part of the plan is the need to make it easier for businesses to get information, advice and support at the right time. That is why Scotland’s enterprise and skills agencies have come together to develop this new website. Findbusinesssupport.gov.scot is a significant step towards transforming the way businesses are supported.”
Background:
Findbusinesssupport.gov.scot is a partnership between the Scottish Government, Business Gateway, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Scottish Enterprise and Skills Development Scotland. Hundreds of companies were engaged in the research, development and testing of the site, and content from other organisations will be added in the coming year.
