GlobalScots all have one thing in common: they have Scotland's best interests at heart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Jamie Macdonald, Integration Manager at Venterra Group, has been a GlobalScot for three years, and has helped dozens of Scottish companies in that time.

He says: “I became a GlobalScot when I had just moved to the US and I’d helped to set up a consultancy business as a satellite office of a of a bigger consultancy. The amount of support I got from Scottish Development International, who then put me in touch with GlobalScots in the US, was like nothing I’d ever had before in terms of business support. So I wanted to make sure that I was able to reciprocate that and give back to the energy industry.

“I’ve helped companies who wanted to move out to the US or who wanted to make the transition from traditional hydrocarbons to offshore wind. I wanted to be able to offer my services in that regard.”

Jamie helps with energy transition, but there are hundreds more GlobalScots with expertise in a huge variety of fields.

Big news ‼️ We've launched a powerful new tool to help support your export growth and ambition 📢

Our Export Assessment Tool is an online resource for all businesses in Scotland - whether you're new to exporting or already active but would like to do more - and is completely free to use. All you need is five to ten minutes to answer some questions and you'll receive a tailored report to help you reach your full export potential.

We've developed the tool following feedback that businesses are confused on where to get export support. Our Digital Trade Services Team Leader, Siobhan McDermit, said: "Growing Scotland's export ambition is a key priority for us, but to do that, businesses need to understand the support that's available. That's where this tool will help. By inputting the information themselves, businesses will receive an accurate picture of their export journey - where they are now, where they want to be, how they can get there and who can support them along the way."

If you're ambitious to sell your products/services in international markets, this tool is for you ➡️ https://ow.ly/pTgk50VpR3r

Exciting news! 250 new jobs are to be created in Glasgow over the next three years following a £28 million investment by Halon Entertainment 🤩🎉

Headquartered in LA, the animation and visualisation company has worked on blockbuster movies such as the Planet of the Apes franchise, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, The Batman television series and Epic Games Fortnite gaming platform. Its investment to create a new studio in Glasgow will enable the company to "collaborate seamlessly across time zones and deliver exceptional work to even more productions worldwide" 💪

Our team of experts have been working closely with the company, providing advice and support together with £3.9 million funding towards the overall project cost.

Our Chief Executive, Adrian Gillespie, said: “I’m excited to welcome Halon to Glasgow. It’s a huge win that an ambitious US studio has chosen Scotland as its location to expand and scale up. Its presence will enhance the reputation of the country’s digital tech industry, and of Glasgow as a hub of artistic and technical talent. It’s also a brilliant opportunity for animators and visual artists to help develop innovative creative content for movies, series and video games right here in Scotland.”

Semiconductors play a crucial role in powering essential technologies like renewable energy systems, data storage, and wireless communication 📱

But a global shortage of components for these unsung heroes has left the UK supply chain reliant on international markets 🗺️

That's about to change thanks to a new research development designed to support the growth of semiconductor packaging in Scotland 💪

Packaging, a key stage in semiconductor manufacturing, protects core components and readies them for use 🖥️

Thanks to a £9 million investment, Europe's first advanced packaging scale-up line for semiconductors is being launched at National Manufacturing Institute Scotland 🥳

This will support UK companies with developing new solutions and address critical production gaps 👉

In a significant milestone for the redevelopment of Grangemouth, we welcome today's publication of the Project Willow report, which looks at potential future opportunities for the site.

This feasibility study presents significant opportunities for investors, outlining a £13 billion plan to transform the site into a low-carbon industrial hub.

Jane Martin, our Managing Director for Innovation and Investment, oversees our dedicated team focused on the transition of Grangemouth. Commenting on the news she said:

“This publication marks a significant milestone in ensuring Grangemouth continues with its hugely important role in Scotland’s economy.

“Grangemouth already has a great workforce, transport links and ongoing development.

“And the Project Willow report will bolster the canon of work already being done by Scottish Enterprise and partners across the Grangemouth Cluster to build an exciting future for the site.

“Project Willow has identified an opportunity to align Scotland’s industrial regeneration with government climate obligations, and to demonstrate a pathway to green energy while securing new jobs and growth.

“The nine recommended projects all have the potential to help advance the development of low carbon technologies in Scotland whilst ensuring Grangemouth remains THE location of choice for investors and innovators in the sector.

“We also want to hear from investors interested in other opportunities across the wider site.

“SE has a clear ambition to help create the best possible location, infrastructure and enabling environment for success, and to attract investors and industrial partners who share that ambition.”

We will now work on behalf of both UK Government and the Scottish Government to identify and seek out potential investors, in partnership with the National Wealth Fund, the Scottish National Investment Bank and the Office for Investment, to come forward with commercially viable proposals, including those set out in the Project Willow report.
