Report of the Director of Innovation & Growth.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Innovation and Growth concerning a review of the prioritisation of international partners and sectors. Members noted the initial findings as set out in the slide deck in the appendix to the report.

In response to a query concerning the FinTech and wider Tech sector, the Chair assured Members that there was considerable focus in this area, although it was accepted that there was no specific focus on ‘big tech’ given the current lack of fit with existing strategies. It was suggested that the Public Relations and Economic Development Sub-Committee should be asked to keep this under review.  

RESOLVED: That the approach and initial findings set out in the appendix to the report be approved.
