Edinburgh’s Business Festival (EBF), supported by Royal Bank of Scotland, brings the business community together to connect, share ideas, and inspire solutions to current issues.

The Business Festival delves deeply into a topic through a series of workshops, keynote sessions, and lively panel discussions. In March, we’ll explore the theme ‘Grow, Scale, Succeed’.

As business look to grow it is important to focus on a strategic, phased approach to business development. Growth alone is not enough; businesses must also scale efficiently and sustainably to achieve lasting success. Entrepreneurs and business leaders need to think strategically, set clear goals, and implement the right strategies at each stage of their business journey.

In addition to the informative sessions delivered, the event will also create a platform for networking, connecting with peers and sharing knowledge. Join us at the EBF to hear from key players within the regional ecosystem alongside a range of budding and established entrepreneurs for a day packed with insight and inspiration, creating an environment where collaboration is encouraged and ideas are exchanged!

A number of informative sessions will be delivered focusing on topics such as productivity, innovation, scaling up, skills and AI. The event will also create a platform for networking, connecting with peers and sharing knowledge.
