Announcing the highly anticipated return of the Scottish Enterprise Awards in 2024! Each year we at SME News set out to celebrate and praise the best and brightest in Scotland’s smallto-medium enterprise community. The resilience and optimism displayed by Scottish entrepreneurs is undeniably extraordinary. Despite fears of a decline in business investment and the rising costs of conducting business, Scottish SMEs are overall optimistic that they will see a performance increase over the next financial year. According to the Scottish Government’s “Small Business Survey Scotland: 2022-2023”, 80% of Scottish businesses expect their turnover to either increase or stay the same in the coming 12 months. Scottish enterprises are also a source of ingenuity whose effect could globally improve quality of life. Innovations such as the steam engine, penicillin, the MRI scanner, cloning and tidal turbines, are all products of Scottish ingenuity. More recently, Scottish enterprises have been making advances in the material sciences which could have an extremely positive global effect in the areas of medical diagnostics, environmental testing, sustainability and much more. Through the Scottish Enterprise Awards 2024, SME news wishes to reward this innovation, resilience and optimism with accolades of excellence! Recognition for Scottish businesses is well-deserved, which is why these annual awards continue to appear in our digital publication each year.
