Scotland leads
Scotland’s diverse economy ensures no one
sector dominates. Together, new technology, financial and
business services, tourism, education and health account for 70% of
Scotland’s gross domestic product.
Scotland leads the world in some of those
sectors which are considered the most important to the 21st century
global economy. Recent independent research by Evidence, the
research impact consultancy, found that Scottish scientists lead
the world in key scientific areas.
