Scotland, with its extensive coastline and numerous islands, boasts a thriving marine sector, contributing £4 billion to the economy and employing 68,000 people. The government’s Blue Economy Vision aims to safeguard marine environments by promoting ecosystem health, economic prosperity, social inclusion, and well-being by 2045.
Aligned with Scotland’s commitment to sustainability, including net zero emissions by 2045, the strategy welcomes business events fostering sustainability. Glasgow, notable for hosting COP 26 in 2021, is gaining a reputation for such events. Business events have the potential to advance social and economic goals. The marine science community, capable of contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals, is integral to Scotland’s Blue Economy Vision.
The International Water Association’s World Water Congress & Exhibition in Glasgow in 2026 aligns with Scotland’s sustainability objectives, emphasizing water’s role in addressing climate change. Scotland’s connected network of industry professionals and academics, supported by VisitScotland Business Events Journey to Change, facilitates collaboration to achieve sustainability and economic equality goals.
