N-56 is an independent Scottish business pressure group established by Dan Macdonald in 2014.[1] N-56 aims to provide a new locus for Scotland's business community to work with government and others to ensure Scotland attains a position among the top five advanced economies in the world.[2]

N-56 derives its name from Scotland's coordinates.[3] The World Atlas Latitude & Longitude coordinates of Scotland are 56.49067119999999 N, 4.2026458000000275 W.[4]

N-56 launched its main analysis report, Scotland Means Business, in June 2014.[5] The report was published as two documents: the FACTS and the STRATEGY.[6] It was prepared over 15 months by a research team that included BiGGAR ECONOMICS, Tulloch Energy, Capital Economics, Landfall Strategy Group and Damvad.[7] Throughout 2014 N-56 will launch a series of sector-specific reports examining the Scottish economy and its future direction in the areas of infrastructure,[8] financial services[9] and oil and gas.[10]
