Regional Economic Development in Scotland
Prosper sent comments to Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli for his Independent review of Regional Economic Development in Scotland. The former Principal of Glasgow University has been asked to make recommendations by Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar MSP. The consultation invited comments on economic growth & investment, innovation & technology, skills and regional development. Prosper’s response was based on the points that we made in our recent report, Scotland’s Blueprint: The Art of the Possible. In this we called for actions to increase place-based growth in Scotland and plan to launch further work on this area shortly.
