Entrepreneurs will be challenged to push the envelope at a major enterprise conference in Scotland next month.
Developing a “Global Mindset” to business and social enterprise will be the central theme of Entrepreneurial Scotland’s annual conference at Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire on April 26.
Entrepreneurial Scotland chairman Chris van der Kuyl said the line-up of speakers for the 2018 conference was designed to be thought-provoking and inspirational.
They include Scottish world record-breaking cyclist and adventurer Mark Beaumont, Skyscanner chief executive and co-founder Gareth Williams and Cobra Beer founder Lord Bilimoria.
Stefani Grosse, founder of luxury women’s sportswear brand Monreal London, which is favoured by stars such as Victoria Beckham and the Duchess of Cambridge, will also speak on her business journey while there will be a supercharged address from Geoge Ell, the director for Western Europe of electric car manufacturer Tesla.
“Entrepreneurial leaders with a global mindset have the best chance of taking advantage of emerging opportunities, driving innovation and growing sustainably,” Mr van der Kuyl said.
“It is also a crucial component to achieve our ambition of making Scotland the most entrepreneurial society in the world.
“With that in mind, we are bringing world-class speakers that attribute their success to embracing a global mindset to share their expertise at Gleneagles.”
The Press & Journal is co-media partner for the conference alongside our sister titles The Courier and Energy Voice.
Bob Hair of conference headline partner Cazenove Capital added: “There is no shortage of ambition for Scotland’s leading entrepreneurs to have a more global outlook, but that can be achieved without necessarily having to take their drive, ambition and businesses elsewhere.
“I can think of no better way of safeguarding its future wealth than by helping to make Scotland the most entrepreneurial society in the world.”
