The Chair welcomed members to the fourth and final working group before the start of the Scottish pre-election period. Representatives from the International Trade Centre were invited to present on the United Kingdom’s SheTrades Outlook report and a recent inward women’s trade mission to the UK from India. 

Members were invited to provide further information on the key activities they have taken forward in the first year of delivery.

The Chair noted that the Scottish Government is considering future arrangements for the working group. The next steps for this work will be taken in due course following ministerial consideration.
