Investment thesis
The Scottish National Investment Bank provides patient, long-term capital to businesses, projects and communities throughout Scotland to help build a fairer, more sustainable economy. It invests according to three missions: reaching net zero and addressing the climate crisis through a fair and sustainable economy; transforming places so communities can thrive; and scaling up innovation and technology for a more competitive and productive economy. Beyond deploying its allocated public capital, the Bank aims to attract additional private capital to invest alongside it in support of these missions.
