Let’s Talk About Series

This is the fourth and final discussion in a series of EDAS sessions that invites guests who all who have a particular – maybe differing view or perspective – on the topic. EDAS will hold no particular view on the topic, bar wishing to create a space in which others can air their views and the audience can engage. Previous discussions covered economic ownership, wealth, and a wellbeing economy.

Outline

Productivity is a key driver of economic growth, shaping the prosperity of nations and regions. In Scotland, the productivity challenge affects how efficiently resources are used, impacting businesses, wages, and living standards. Addressing this involves understanding the factors that drive productivity, from innovation and skills to infrastructure and business investment. So how can Scotland enhance productivity to boost economic growth and ensure that its benefits are widely shared across all communities and sectors?
