Welcome to the Scottish Parliament & Business Exchange
Established in 2001 the Scottish Parliament & Business Exchange (the Exchange) is an educational charity aimed at developing contact and mutual awareness between business and Parliament in Scotland.
It is modelled on similar charities in other countries, including the New Zealand Parliamentary Trust and the long-established Industry and Parliament Trust at Westminster. The Exchange is independent, non-partisan and non-lobbying and provides Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) with direct experience of business and industry with a range of companies and organisations from various sectors.
In addition, The Exchange provides staff from member organisations with the opportunity to experience life in the Parliament through inward programmes that include time spent shadowing MSPs.
