Scottish Development International
According to its own website:
- Scottish Development International (SDI) was formed in 2001 to attract direct foreign investment to Scotland as part of the Scottish Executive’s new "Smart Successful Scotland" strategy for Scotland’s international economic development. Scottish development International replaced the former inward investment group Locate in Scotland and the former export promotion group, Scottish Trade International.
- With its headquarters in Glasgow, SDI is funded entirely by the government, and is controlled by both the Scottish Executive and Scottish Enterprise. In order to best draw foreign investment to Scotland, SDI has offices throughout the UK, mainland Europe, North America and Asia.
