Mid-Sized Businesses in the regions and sectors across Scotland 2010-19
Mid-sized businesses (MSBs) are defined as businesses with a turnover of between £25m and £500m. Evidence demonstrates MSBs to be more productive, more innovative and to disproportionately contribute to economic growth. Therefore, increasing the numbers and size of Scotland’s mid-market is critical to achieving sustained economic growth. This note presents the latest analysis of the extent and shape of MSBs in Scotland’s regions and sectors. It covers the period of 2010-19 and presents breakdown across sector, employment and nation of ownership. -

Intelligence gathering for sustainable manufacturing campus
This study follows on from earlier work to investigate options for the development of a carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) value chain in Scotland, recognising that while there are opportunities there are also obstacles in doing so. One of the options identified during the previous study was a facility or hub to demonstrate CCU technologies. The purpose of this study was to define the scope and remit of such a CCU demonstrator through wide stakeholder consultation, to ensure it matches industry needs. This study had a Scotland-wide remit, covering all sectors with industrial CO2 emissions, with a specific focus on how a sustainable manufacturing cluster in Grangemouth could be developed (part of the Falkirk and Grangemouth Growth Deal). It considered both large volume and niche opportunities. Delivered as part of the Interreg Northern Connection project, one of the study’s key objectives has been to utilise international connections to share insights and learning into the study. -
