What a week it has been for the team over at GlobalScot HQ! We've been across the country and back, engaging in a huge number of different activities. Monday kicked off with a team volunteering day at an amazing local charity, Kids Love Clothes. 🚀🛰 Tuesday brought the who's who of the Scottish space sector together with delegations from Malaysia, Germany, and the Nordics to the Trades Hall of Glasgow to enjoy networking and of course to taste test a few drams and some of tunnocks finest 🥃 Wednesday and Thursday was Space Comm Expo Scotland. Wow, what an event. Attended by over 3000 delegates, Scotland really got the opportunity to showcase our incredible space sector. MOUs were signed, and our new Space Trade & Investment Envoy was announced, congratulations Daniel Smith! Got the chance to catch up with several GlobalScots including Laura Todd, Yvette Hopkins, Angela Mathis CEO, Daniel Smith, Ross Hamilton, Peter Young, Craig Clark, and Lesley Jane Smith. Spotted several others throughout the day too! Thursday also involved attendance at the Global Insights event, showcasing the consumer industries sector. And if that wasn't enough activity, we also attended a Women's health event hosted by Burness Paull with GlobalScots Grace McGill WS and Fiona Nicolson, in collaboration with the Scottish Lifesciences Association, showcasing exciting developments in the field of women’s health in relation to drugs, diagnostics and devices. A great line-up, guests heard presentations and a panel discussion from a variety of leading experts working in Healthcare & Life Sciences in Scotland. And that brings us swiftly to Friday, told you it has been a busy one! Offshore Wind is today's topic! A well deserved weekend awaits, but first, coffee ☕️

What a great panel discussion yesterday! The insights drawn from personal experience of the UAE healthcare market were both enlightening and engaging. And amply highlighted the potential for opportunity for our Scottish audiences. Thanks to our expert panel of Russell Mayne and GlobalScots James Steel and Ramzy Ross, PhD, ably chaired by Finola Hegarty yesterday.

Yesterday I had the great pleasure to join Finola Hegarty from Scottish Development International and British Embassy UAE alongside Ramzy Ross, PhD from Mediclinic Middle East and Russell Mayne from Dell Technologies to discuss our experiences on the UAE #healthcare market and share insights with representatives of a number of organisations looking enter or expand in the #UAE. Shared below are some of the key takeaways from the discussion..... Highly Digitized 🖥️ The UAE has a strong digital infrastructure. Driving AI adoption and innovation in emerging spaces such as mental health, women's health and chronic disease management will be key priorities. The UAE is moving from digital transformation to digital innovation. Innovative solutions that address gaps and government aspirations will find great success. Changing demographics like an aging population create new service needs. Aligning with Government Initiatives 🏛️ Understanding the UAE's vision and regulatory requirements for healthcare and well-being is crucial. Private providers are increasingly digitizing and focusing on new services such as preventative care to support these national goals. Ability to dovetail solutions and services to these needs are a recipe for success. Keys to Market Entry 🔑 Localizing your solution's relevance and messaging is critical. Having a strong local presence and "boots on the ground" is essential for understanding the market and building relationships. Leverage trusted associations such as SDI and introductions they can make but beware of charlatans posing as experts and promising to enable market access, introductions or growth. 🤥 The UAE healthcare market is ripe with opportunity for those who understand its unique dynamics and align their offerings with the government's & private providers needs and ambitious vision. Adapting to the local context and committing to the market will be key to success. ❗ Readers - Please feel free to share any additional wisdom in the comments 😘 Thanks to those that joined us 👍 : myWaves, NeuroBright, Care Reality, COHESION Medical, Daysix, EKORA, Falcon Foodservice Equipment, Heriot-Watt University, Infix Support, Microplate Dx, Mipatient, MyWay Digital Health Ltd, PneumoWave, Promote Medical , Safehinge Primera, Shark B Limited, Touchlab Limited, University of St Andrews Jane Pritchard Wendy Lamin Ashraf A Mabrouk Dr Matthew Freer Angela Crabb Shona Wares Building relationships with startups and promoting diverse medical technologies and solutions are just some of the ways we support our partners and help bring innovation to customers.
