What Makes An Enterprising Place?

20th April 2016 Drygate Glasgow

What Makes An Enterprising Place? is a hearts and minds event. It brings together people who are passionate about their place because it’s their community, passion, business, heritage, safety.

What Makes An Enterprising Place? is not a conference but a Can Do session, where we share stories and experiences and start answering some questions. Our aim is to show the importance of place to Scotland Can Do and to unblock some of our enterprise arteries!
What Makes An Enterprising Place? is for:

  • community groups intent on improving their place but hitting obstacles.
  • businesses where place defines their business identity.
  • philanthropists wanting to give back to their community.
  • place makers who want a broader approach to heritage, architecture and innovation.
  • entrepreneurs for whom place creates the environment to succeed.
  • people responsible for safer places.
