EDINBURGH, MIDLOTHIAN, UNITED KINGDOM, February 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Intercultural Connections Initiative (ICI) is proud to announce that it has been shortlisted for two categories at the prestigious China–Scotland Business Awards 2026, organised by the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC).

The awards celebrate excellence in Scotland–China collaboration across business, education, and cultural sectors, with winners to be announced at the Chinese Burns Supper — a flagship black-tie networking event that fuses Burns Night traditions with Chinese New Year festivities, taking place in Edinburgh in February 2026.

ICI has been shortlisted in the following categories:
●Marketing Campaign of the Year — recognising CCW 2025’s innovative cross-border marketing approach connecting Scottish audiences and Chinese digital communities.
●Graduate Employability Initiative of the Year — acknowledging ICI’s year-round youth arts training programme, culminating in immersive professional experience at Chinese Culture Week (CCW).

The China–Scotland Business Awards, supported by partners including the Confucius Institute for Scotland at the University of Edinburgh, Scottish Enterprise/SDI, and the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office, highlight organisations that deepen understanding, commercial ties and cultural exchange between Scotland and China.

This dual shortlisting reflects ICI’s unique contribution to both international cultural marketing and youth development, cementing its role in building sustainable, two-way Scotland–China engagement through creative, educational and cultural platforms.
Winners will be announced at the Chinese Burns Supper on 19th February 2026.
