Editor's Notes
- The Foundation was established to address the challenge faced by Scottish growth companies to compete in the global marketplace; and the need to grow the confident entrepreneurial capabilities of the Scottish graduate community. The perceived constraint is not one of technology or innovation – Scotland has a proud history in both of these – but one of people. People who have the entrepreneurial global mindset Growing more competitive businesses of scale is central to the medium and long term growth strategies for Scotland. The success of these strategies depends significantly on t he availability of human capital ie entrepreneurial talent with the vision and drive to create or transform businesses into global businesses of scale. The Saltire Foundation was created by Scottish Enterprise to address this specific challenge. With the support of the GlobalScot network, The SaltireFoundation accelerates the development of Scotland’s potential business leaders by offering unrivalled opportunities to work with, learn from and network with some of the world’s leading business players..
- The Foundation runs two outstanding programmes centred on excellence: a prestigious one year Fellowship and an International Undergraduate programme.
