About this Event

What would it mean for your business if you knew exactly what the National Library of Scotland had to offer you? Miriam Hussain is here to show you. As Business and Enterprise Officer, Miriam works to widen access and ensure that founders, especially those from underrepresented communities, know about and can make use of the resources available to them. With a background in events and community leadership, she brings both warmth and real practical insight to everything she does.

This session is part of the Data Equity Incubator - a programme supporting ethnic minority women to grow ideas into data-informed ventures. This is the second in-person gathering of the 2026 cohort, and it's open to any ethnic minority woman who wants to come along, even if you're not part of the programme.

• Meet Miriam and hear about the free resources and support on offer at the National Library of Scotland
• Meet the DataKirk and Bright Red Triangle teams
