The Economic Development Association (Scotland) (EDAS) is the independent voice of economic development in Scotland.

EDAS is the country’s foremost membership driven association for all organisations and individuals with an interest in economic development.

We aim to facilitate a substantial improvement in the effectiveness of economic development activity in Scotland by helping to raise the knowledge, skills and networks of those involved in all aspects of economic development.

The British Urban Regeneration Association, (BURA), facilitates the exchange of ideas, experience and solutions within regeneration. BURA is the leading membership organisation championing regeneration.

Non-core funded, its unique strength derives from its wide range of members in the private, public and community sectors; this distinguishes it from any other sector interest group. BURA identifies and promotes best practice in regeneration and advocates an integrated approach to the social, economic and environmental issues involved.
