Hi blog readers hope you are all well out there across the globe
SCALE UP PROGRAMME:
Some of you may remember I have been lucky enough to be select for the Inaugural Scotland Can Do Scale programme. I am on the Scale programme which is about scaling up what your organisation does.
Scotland Highlands & Islands Enterprise (“HIE”), Scottish Enterprise (“SE”) and the Scottish Funding Council (“SFC”) (the Partners) are jointly meeting the costs participating in the Scotland CAN DO SCALE programme.
The SCALE programme will be held at Stirling
Management Centre on 04-07 August 2015 and we
will be staying at the Stirling Court Hotel over the
duration of the course..
Its a very full agenda of around 5 long days. We have
to be there on the evening of the 3rd August for
initial meetings and dinner until 9pm. The Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday and finish around 5pm
Friday. It is my aim to write a couple of blogs and
post some photos from this event
Agenda includes:
Challenges of moving from an SME to an IDE, raising
money: finance for scale, product plans for greatness
and how academia connects to and offers
opportunities for Scottish business and loads more.
This is an opportunity if a life time for any business
owner or entrepreneur. I am so chuffed to have this
opportunity and have the opportunity to meet such
an cornucopia of speakers, Facilitators observers and
guests.
