Regional

The Showcasing Scotland Regional programme has been developed to meet the growing demand for local products in local markets. Using our hugely successful business match making model, our regional events help boost local and regional sourcing by bringing together Scottish buyers, producers and suppliers to build new trade relationships and secure future business.

The UK Market Development team work closely with exhibition and trade show organisers; looking for the best opportunities for you to showcase your products and target the right audiences. The team will then provide recommendations on shows for you to attend and we will support you to make the most of your investment. 

Scotland Food & Drink works with trade customers from all market sectors, forging relationships with key category buyers and decision makers to identify new and exclusive sales opportunities for our members.

Our programme of meet the buyer events take place throughout the year with retailers, wholesalers and foodservice. These highly popular events highlight new commercial opportunities and present an opportunity for you to pitch to buyers from across the UK for the chance to secure new business and grow your sales. 

Meet the Buyer may also include a trade briefing where you can gain first-hand insight from the buyer and hear about the opportunities relevant to your business. 

Over the coming months, more details will be announced about a programme of workshops designed to build business resilience, providing opportunities for capability building at a pace and level to suit you, and at a time which suits your business needs.

The Academy is a unique, market-focused, and commercially orientated training programme that helps Scottish food and drink businesses - at every stage of their growth journey - sell themselves, build their brands and thrive in grocery and foodservice markets.
