This conference focuses on the importance of Scotland's mid-market businesses to our future economic competitiveness. It discusses how practical support can be delivered and the obstacles which need to be overcome to support growth.
The German mid-market sector - its 'Mittelstand' - is core to its economic growth and a key factor in contributing to the stability and strength of the German economy. In this conference we examine what we can learn from the success of the German model to power up Scotland's own 'McMittelstand'.
We will discuss a wide range of themes including finance, supporting growth, developing new markets, learning from competitors, harnessing innovation and protecting intellectual property. We will also assess how business should meet the challenge and uncertainty of Brexit.
Now in its 4th year, this conference brings together a range of businesses from across Scotland's mid-market, as well as business advisory orgranisations and public and third sector delegates involved in economic development, business support, education and skills.
The conference will explore:
Prof Friederike Welter
Chair, SME Management and Entrepreneurship, University Siegen and President, Institut für Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn
Professor Richard T Harrison
Chair in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, University of Edinburgh Business School
Sarah Deas
