March 25th – Scottish Business & International Trade Report: Westminster Launch
In September 2019 a major research initiative was launched by Scottish Business Network (SBN) and Momentous Change to engage with leading members of the Scottish business diaspora. The survey saw over 1000 responses from Scots in senior positions in 74 different countries, with over 50% of responders offering their time to be interviewed.
Alongside Momentous Change and Douglas Chapman MP we will be launching our results at Westminster on March 25th.
March 30th-April 5th – SBN and New York Tartan Week 2020
It is the 700th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath, a document that has a quiet place in Scotland’s history but, being the basis of the Declaration of Independence, has a special significance in the United States. This means that NYC Tartan Week 2020 is set to be bigger than ever, and we’re going to be there to help celebrate.
From March 30th – April 5th Russell, Scott, Sandy & Fraser will be in New York with several SBN Members, connecting with the SBN Community in the city and bringing together the Scottish diaspora in New York.
We have an invite only event on April 1st, as well as helping support many other events throughout the week. Learn more and keep update on the SBN in NYC website!
