What Is Invest2Scale?

Invest2Scale is Scotland's first event solely focused on making meaningful connections between investors from outside Scotland and scaling companies that need to take their business to the next level.

It is now firmly embedded within the calendar of events in the Scottish investment funding and scaling company eco-system.

2025's event will include an opportunity for investors to meet with even more business leaders from around Scotland in one day, set up meaningful meetings, and head back home with a host of new relationships.

Leaders of scaling businesses will get the chance to start bridging the gap between Scotland and the global investment community.

"Another cracking Invest2Scale event! I totally appreciate the amount of effort and time that goes into these things to make it happen so wanted to say a big thanks and it was really good (again!)"

Gemma Hamilton, BGF
"Invest2Scale is becoming THE Scottish scale-up conference."

Mike Reid, Frog Capital
"A brilliant event - big shout out to the Invest2Scale team for bringing something truly different to the Scottish scale-up scene"
"Definitely a must-attend for the future - if you have ambitions to scale your company and want access to investors from across the UK"

Craig Early, Scottish Enterprise
"One of my favourite events in the calendar is Invest2Scale. It’s an absolute must-visit for those looking to secure investment and connect with the amazing Scottish scale-up ecosystem."
"If you’re a scaling company or investor, then this is a must for your events calendar."
"Scotland provides a fantastic ecosystem for start-up businesses… But it is essential we support these businesses as they grow into the next phase and ensuring smarter financial investment is available."

Karen Meechan
CEO, ScotlandIS
"The organisation, the quality of the talks, and the audience were superb, I got so much value from attending."

Natalia Blagburn, Mercia Ventures
“We’re often told in Silicon Valley, everyone helps you. Businesses and founders know each other and are connected. Scotland is like that too. There is a huge level of support and that makes scaling up so much easier to navigate.”

Darina Garland
Co-Founder Ooni (quoted in Wired)
"The economy is really reliant on the SME sector, it’s where growth comes from. However, research showed that Scotland is behind the curve in terms of businesses scaling up."
