The EDAS Future Leaders Network is a community of individuals who, together, will be the driving force behind economic development in Scotland, for years to come.
Economic development is critical to Scotland’s future success and sustainability. Practitioners are, and will continue to be, at the forefront of creating a fairer, wealthier, and greener Scotland. For the discipline of economic development to keep delivering for the benefit of Scotland, we must nurture the talent that will take us into the future.
The Future Leaders Network is designed for students, graduates, and practitioners who are in the early stages of their career. Perhaps you’ve recently taken your first role in the industry, are currently studying a related subject at University, or have changed career and want to forge new connections and share ideas.
As the country’s foremost membership driven association for organisations and individuals with an interest in economic development, we know that through our connections, peer support, and sharing of best practice we can deliver better outcomes for Scotland.
Through the Future Leaders Network, you can access CPD courses, podcasts, and resources, whilst also attending networking events, and keeping up to date with the latest industry vacancies.*
*Please note that additional charges apply for EDAS mainstream CPD and events, depending on membership status. Find out more about EDAS membership here.

A career in economic development means that you are helping to transform Scotland’s economy to be fairer, wealthier and more sustainable. As a graduate on the Insights and Economics team at Scottish Enterprise, I gather and share intelligence and data from companies, across sectors and places, to help shape SE’s activities to best contribute to Scotland’s economic development.
The EDAS: Introduction to Economic Development course was great – really helped me understand the makeup of Scotland’s economy and different metrics used for economic development.
