Expo fund

Made in Scotland logo

Made in Scotland is a new initiative supported by the Scottish Government’s Edinburgh Festivals Expo Fund to showcase Scottish-based performing arts talent in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It is a partnership between:

  • the Scottish Arts Council
  • the Federation of Scottish Theatre (FST) and
  • the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society

Made in Scotland will be a curated showcase of high quality performances to promote Scottish dance and theatre artists to international promoters at the Fringe and will be launched in 2009.

In addition, the Fringe and FST are developing a year round programme of training, support and advice to enable companies to prepare for participation in Made in Scotland, supporting them to achieve their goals for participation, including profile and touring opportunities.
