Taking inspiration from the Scottish Enlightenment, our ambition is to support collaboration and to intensify Edinburgh's impressive profile as an international centre of academic research and innovation – creating a stage for ideas that change the world.

Drawing knowledge and expertise from business events, the goals of the Exchange Initiative are to:

  • Raise the profile of Edinburgh's key sectors.
  • Create lasting positive impacts for the city in the fields of health, wellbeing and sustainability.
  • Boost community engagement.
