The South Gyle business centre is situated in a contemporary office building on one of Edinburgh's premier business parks, conveniently close to the famous Forth Road Bridge and Edinburgh airport. West Edinburgh is widely acknowledged as Scotland's leading business park location. It is one of the most concentrated commercial zones in Scotland employing many thousands of people. Major corporations, including a number of banks and international insurance companies are based in the area, reflecting the city's global standing as a major centre for the financial services industry. Edinburgh is a modern European capital city and the seat of the Scottish Government. It has a sophisticated workforce and an unusually young, well-educated and productive population. Higher education is also a key strength. Two of the city's three universities are engaged in five-star research and maintain particularly robust links with the business community.
