North East’s first roundtable with First Minister

Geoff recently chaired and moderated a roundtable discussion in Aberdeen with First Minister John Swinney at Energy Transition Zone Ltd’s W-Zero-1 building on the importance of the North East of Scotland’s role in driving sustainable economic growth for the regional and wider Scottish and U.K economies.

The roundtable included senior business leaders representing the region’s Life Sciences, Digital, Energy, Academic, Cultural, Food, Drink & Agriculture sectors as the First Minister made his first visit to the City since taking office.

Attendees had the opportunity to raise both the opportunities and challenges their respective organisation’s face and all were steadfast in their long term commitment to contribute to the region’s continued success.
