Retail for Change: SIS Retail Bootcamp, 15-17 March 2023

Social Investment Scotland’s Retail Academy Bootcamp.

"This three-day immersive programme delivered each day online between 09:00 – 14:00hrs is targeted at supporting Scottish social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations with a product, service, or experience to sell. Places are available to social enterprises and impactful businesses out with Scotland for a small fee of £100+VAT.

This year our overarching theme is brand alignment. We believe there is an opportunity for social enterprises and mission-driven businesses to align with leading corporate businesses that have a mutual customer base, with an increased appetite to purchase in the social space and who we know will be inspired by your values and impact.

As always, we will have a range of masterclasses that will dig deep into topics such as trends, routes to market and doing deals, customer insights, product, and development experience. We will help you shape your plans and formulate the next steps operationally and strategically."

SIS is delivering this online over three days this year, from 15^th to 17^th March. Join us for jam packed programme, featuring speakers from the world of retail, procurement and commercial contracts. Get in front of a range of retail buyers, procurement purchasers to pitch your products.
