Our Foundation exists because of the participation and financial support of visionary individuals, trusts and organisations who see Scotland's potential and have taken the step to make a change.
We are indebted to the University of Strathclyde for their ongoing support.
Entrepreneurial Scotland is an independent charitable Foundation at the forefront of championing and developing an entrepreneurial culture in Scotland.
Our focus is to develop those who can transform Scotland plc and our entrepreneurial culture
Scotland needs entrepreneurial leaders and a pool of talent equipped with the skills, mindset, and connections to create value. Through our work, we develop effective leaders and a pipeline of high-quality talent through transformative experiences, world class teaching, mentors, and peer to peer learning, because no one does it alone. As a founder and leader in the Scotland CANDO Collective we are the driving force in joining the dots to bring the entrepreneurial support ecosystem together.
We are a charity with limited cash reserves, which relies on the goodwill of many people to continue its work. We believe that Scotland can, by working together, create the world’s most entrepreneurial society … again.
While the challenges of 2020 added an element of uncertainty, it’s clear to see that there’s no shortage of ambitious, high-calibre students at Scottish universities.
Reflections as we leave a year like no other
