Connecting Scottish Scale-ups With Global Investors

Virgin Hotel, Edinburgh

23rd October 2024

Bigger and Better

The feedback suggests that we got past the "tricky second album" situation, and Invest2Scale Two was even better than year one.

So, we are aiming even higher in 2024 with a new lineup, inspiring guests, and more opportunities to build relationships between investors and business leaders to drive growth.

Scotland's First Scaleup Event

Invest2Scale 2024 is Scotland's first event solely focused on making meaningful connections between investors from outside Scotland and scaling companies that need to take their business to the next level.

This year's event will include an opportunity for investors to meet with even more business leaders from around Scotland in one day, set up meaningful meetings, and head back home with a host of new relationships.

Leaders of scaling businesses will get the chance to start bridging the gap between Scotland and the global investment community.

  • “We’re often told in Silicon Valley, everyone helps you. Businesses and founders know each other and are connected. Scotland is like that too. There is a huge level of support and that makes scaling up so much easier to navigate.”

    Darina Garland

    Co-Founder Ooni (quoted in Wired)

  • "Scotland provides a fantastic ecosystem for start-up businesses… But it is essential we support these businesses as they grow into the next phase and ensuring smarter financial investment is available."

    Karen Meechan

    CEO, ScotlandIS

  • "The economy is really reliant on the SME sector, it’s where growth comes from. However, research showed that Scotland is behind the curve in terms of businesses scaling up."

    Ken Whipp

    Programme Director, Scale Up Scotland

Access to elite businesses and investors, and helping to plug a gap in the scale-up market.

We want to collaborate with selected organisations that work in the scale-up sector and have clear synergies with the founding partners to deliver this unique event, directly impacting the growth ecosystem in Scotland.

This isn't a fad or a one off: our aim is that the event will become the premiere, must attend ticket each year as the best companies Scotland has to offer meet the best-fit investors across the UK and beyond.

We are passionate about supporting scale-up businesses make the most of global investment opportunities and reach their high-growth potential. Join us in our mission.
