Action on regulations and non-domestic rates, as well as closer collaboration with business on government policy, are key recommendations of the New Deal for Business Group, which has submitted its report to the First Minister.
The creation of a new independent review board to oversee regulations will be taken forward, in response to requests from business to help government work more closely with industry.
The group has also looked at improved working around sharing data, creating a wellbeing economy, and involving business in the development of policy.
