The Scottish Enterprise Network consists of Scottish Enterprise National, situated in Glasgow and 12 Local Enterprise Companies (LECs) stretching from Grampian to the Borders. Scottish Enterprise's (SE) Chief Executive, Jack Perry, is accountable to the Scottish Parliament where the Organisation receives the bulk of its funding.

The main aim of SE is to work with parties in the private sector and other public bodies in order to contribute to projects, which are of economic benefit to Scotland. SE is involved in any area of activity concerned with economic development in Scotland and is guided by the Scottish Executive's strategic vision document, Smart Successful Scotland (SSS). This strategy focuses on three main areas:

• Growing Businesses
• Global Connections
• Learning and Skills

This means assisting in:

• Business start-ups and helping existing companies to grow.
• Promoting and encouraging exporting and attracting inward investment.
• Developing knowledge and skills and providing the means to do so.

The Scottish Enterprise Tourism Network undertakes a range of strategically focussed activities that are delivered via the LEC Network.
