10th Annual Conference (MacKay Hannah) 2020 | Squiz Matrix | 30 January 2020 | TBA, Edinburgh

This conference examines the Scottish Government's plans for delivering new infrastructure and capital investment in Scotland. It discusses the implications of raising overall levels of capital expenditure by an additional £1.5 billion per year and, alongside that, the objectives of the work of the Scottish Futures Trust and the Scottish Infrastructure Commission. It will assess how increased capital spending together with major strategic drivers - such as City Region Deals, NPF4 in strategic planning, and initiatives in infrastructure-led sectors including housing, transport, low carbon, digital and cities - will shape the profile of capital infrastructure investment and new projects.
