SNP Business Day 2026
Engage with Scotland’s Political Leadership Ahead of the 2026 Election
Following a sold-out Business Day in Edinburgh last year, SNP Business Day 2026 offers senior business leaders and public affairs professionals based in and around London a rare opportunity to engage directly with senior SNP figures at a pivotal moment for Scotland’s economy, investment landscape, and relationship with Westminster.
For businesses with interests in Scotland, this event will facilitate high-value, practical engagement ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections in May 2026. Discussions will centre on how decisions in the next parliamentary term could affect growth, operations, and long-term investment in Scotland.
Programme Overview
The programme opens with a keynote address and Q&A with SNP Leader and First Minister John Swinney, giving attendees the opportunity to hear first-hand how the SNP is approaching growth, investment, and competitiveness in the next Parliament.
The day then moves into a series of focused panel discussions on the issues that matter most to boardrooms and public affairs teams, with interactive Q&A sessions involving senior ministers and leading voices from across the business community. Topics include the policy direction of the next Scottish Parliament, the SNP’s influence at Westminster, technology and investment, and the transition of Scotland’s energy system.
