The 2025 Week develops the key themes of the December 2023 Productivity Week, which focuses on improving productivity to generate a strong economy, prosperity for all, and quality public services. These remain important and the 2025 Productivity Week will address how to unlock the potential of the Scottish Economy to support the above. To do this, it will explore:
- Ways of working
- Ways of investing
- Ways of innovating.
We need to explore innovation in the ways we work considering the rise of purpose in business, different modes of working including hybrid work, and well-being at work. The investment landscape is changing and evolving due to broader socio-economic and environmental challenges, new investors and strategies and innovative approaches such as crowdfunding. In terms of unlocking potential, innovation is key, including technological as well as business process and organisational change.
