Scotland 2070 offers an ambitious vision for Scotland’s future – without the politics
In this book we look beyond Covid-19, beyond oil, beyond Brexit, beyond current politics, beyond the fearmongering, to a vision of a thriving, prosperous long-term future for Scotland.
We explain the potential for Scotland’s natural resources, land, air and sea, beyond oil. We point out Scotland’s growing locational advantages as the Arctic ice melts.
We remind ourselves of our talent and prowess in both financial services and science and engineering. We draw attention to the highly successful Nordic countries around us in Scandinavia and beyond. And we show how small nations can succeed in this world of geographical giants.
The authors of Scotland 2070 are Scots with no political allegiance. They offer an ambitious – but realistic – vision of what Scotland could achieve in 50 years’ time in this new world.
They bring their wide international business experience in engineering, energy, management consultancy, property and healthcare, to bear on important unanswered questions about Scotland’s future.
