Scottish Enterprise 2024/25 Operating Plan
Scottish Enterprise’s Operating Plan for 2024-25 outlines how it will deliver its long-term strategic ambitions, directing resources to invest in transformative opportunities that enable companies to create high-value jobs, boost productivity and unlock wealth for all of Scotland.
SE’s strategic ambition is to increase levels of innovation, internationalisation and investment in Scotland, building a fair, green and growing economy. It directly supports the delivery of the National Strategy for Economic Transformation, helping to create a thriving economy that generates high quality jobs and higher prosperity shared across the country to support individual wellbeing and public service delivery.
The 2024/25 operating plan outlines how SE will deliver the first year of its new mission-based approach. SE’s three missions focus on finding solutions to key global economic and societal challenges and on where SE can make the biggest impact in delivering transformation in the economy:
- Creating an internationally competitive energy transition economy in Scotland
- Scaling the impact of Scotland’s innovation strengths into high-growth industries of the future
- Driving capital investment to deliver a step-change in Scotland’s productivity
Collaborating with companies, investors and partners in delivering the missions, SE is preparing for and exploiting future opportunities where Scotland can compete. The operating plan sets out a range of activities and milestones it aims to deliver throughout the year.
As Scotland’s national and international economic development agency SE has the reach and track record to deliver transformational economic change. It invests around £300 million per year in the Scottish economy and around 35% of staff and budget deliver support pan-Scotland and internationally.
