MSZ Business Forum

MSZ Business Forum, in association with Midlothian Business Gateway, launched in December 2020. We host events several times a year on a variety of themes,  designed to encourage engagement and collaboration between organisations 'in the zone'. Each event brings together a wide range of businesses to identify shared support needs, collaborative opportunities and share knowledge across the region, signposting to research, expertise and business services with invited guest speakers on themes of benefit to the community in the zone.

Our next MSZ Business Forum will be hosted on Tuesday, 7th December at 1pm,
at the Roslin Institute on The University of Edinburgh's Easter Bush Campus.  

The theme of this event will be 'Core Facilities & Equipment' with guest speaker, Val Hughes-White, Campus Operations Officer. There will also be an opportunity to tour some of the specialist scientific facilities on Campus after the Forum. 

This is a milestone event for the Forum, marking 12 months since our first virtual meeting so we are delighted this will hosted at a world-leading research institute in the zone.

We expect demand to be high and as this is an in-person event, followed by a tour, there is a limit on numbers so we recommend booking early.
