  • National Planning Framework 4 Scottish Enterprise Submission
    NATIONAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK 4 SCOTTISH ENTERPRISE SUBMISSION Scottish Enterprise (SE) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Scottish Government’s ‘Call for Ideas’ for National Planning Framework 4. NPF4 is being prepared at a time of unprecedented change and uncertainty; climate change, Brexit, and an aging population among many. The Coronavirus pandemic has caused the deaths of many and SE’s immediate priority is the resilience and recovery of the Scottish economy. Once the pandemic has subsided, the restructuring of the Scottish economy will need to begin in order to deal with the massively devastating impact the virus has had on all sectors and industries. In addition, the need for a robust and reliable digital infrastructure has never been clearer in light of the impact of the virus on everyday work and life in Scotland. SE is of the view that developing Scotland’s digital infrastructure (both international sub-sea connections and internal digital infrastructure) is essential to ensure Scotland has the resilience to handle disruptions such as Covid-19, and is more generally capable of embracing the emerging data heavy technologies that will form part of a progressive and outward facing digital economy. This submission represents SE’s contribution to delivering a co-ordinated, impactful response to secure a positive, fair and inclusive future for all of Scotland’s population which addresses these challenges. NPF4 will need to consider what Scotland should look like in 2050 and how it will have addressed the challenges and opportunities that will be faced in the intervening period. Clearly issues of the range and complexity that must be addressed through NPF4 will require Planning to interface in a co-ordinated and constructive manner across all relevant disciplines.

  • Scottish Enterprise Creative Industries Partnership Agreement Monitoring Group
    Creative Scotland – Scottish Enterprise Creative Industries Partnership Agreement monitoring group October 2017 Background This report provides an update on the work undertaken in the context of the Partnership Agreement between Creative Scotland and Scottish Enterprise. The Partnership Agreement was signed in December 2015 and it was agreed with the Scottish Government to present an interim report on partnership working. Subsequent to this, the reporting will be done in the first quarter of the financial year each year to align with the normal financial year reporting systems of both organisations. The action to establish a partnership agreement between the two organisations was a direct recommendation of the Scottish Parliament Enterprise, Energy and Tourism inquiry into the creative industries that took place in the early part of 2016. In addition to this specific recommendation, the main areas of work undertaken during the first period of the Partnership Agreement have been in relation to other recommendations of the EET Committee as well as work undertaken to progress a Shared Plan for Scotland’s Creative Industries Partnership (SCIP). It is also worth highlighting the fact that the inquiry undertaken by the EET Committee focused exclusively on the screen and games sectors, representing a part of Scotland’s wider Creative Industries. The actions that are being progressed through partnership working extend far beyond the scope of the EET Committee and are intended to benefit the full range of the Scottish Government’s definition of the Creative Industries. Following the work undertaken to develop the terms of the Partnership Agreement a set of work areas were detailed in which progress was anticipated.
