Engage hosted its very first Round Table event today, where exciting plans for Eden Project Scotland were shared with invited guests.
Run in association with Eden Project, the group heard from Caishlan Sweeney, Project Engagement Manager, about the latest news on the £130m development, earmarked for opening in Dundee around 2030.
Over a light lunch, the discussion was then opened up round the table, with invaluable insight from key industry names in and around the city.
Held in the fantastic surroundings of Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc Hub, conversations were led by host Lee Harrow, Communications Director at Engage.
Views were exchanged on how businesses can collaborate to play a key role in the project moving forward in everything from engaging local communities to sustainability and how the area – and Scotland as a whole – can benefit from the addition of this exciting project.
Tourism and how Dundee can establish itself as a longer stay destination, ticket pricing, incentivising green transport and ensuring connectivity with other parts of the city were all discussed, while looking at amazing images of the plans, which were approved by Dundee City Council last year.
We imagined looking 10 years down the line following the venue’s opening, sharing optimism and excitement at the impact it can have.
It truly is a remarkable project with opportunities to come for the whole country.
Huge thanks in particular to key speaker Caishlan Sweeney and hosts Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc, and gratitude to all attendees who took time out of their busy schedules to bring their own individual insights to the event.
