Call to Action for Edinburgh’s Economic Future

Edinburgh has long been a financial and economic powerhouse for Scotland and the UK. But there is now an opportunity to leverage our leadership and capabilities to drive greater growth and prosperity for the City and Region.

Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce and city partners from a range of sectors have produced an industry-led ‘Call to Action’ to bring all stakeholders together to ensure Edinburgh’s advantages are placed front and centre on the policy front, through collective action. This is intended as our roadmap to leverage our exceptional capabilities, assets and enablers to collectively deliver economic growth and create a better City and Region for all.
