Business Collect Edinburgh: Inside the Foreign Office

Business Collect is back in Edinburgh.

Twenty years of British diplomacy, one evening on Princes Street. Hear how the world is read from inside the Foreign Office: what's shifting in global trade, regulation and geopolitics, and how it reaches businesses here.

Our keynote is Richard Oppenheim, a former UK Ambassador to Yemen whose 20+ years in British diplomacy took him across Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman and Japan, to the UK's mission at the UN, and to the Cabinet Office as Commonwealth Envoy. Today he leads the Diplomatic Advisory Hub, a free service the Foreign Office and the British Chambers of Commerce run together to help UK businesses spot opportunities and weigh up risks abroad.

After the keynote, it's your turn to put your questions to him. It works both ways: he brings the view from abroad, you bring the view from the ground.

Plus Rathbones' quarterly read on the economy and what business owners should be watching. Delivered with the Foreign Office and the British Chambers of
