Prosper, formerly the Scottish Council for Development and Industry (SCDI), was founded in 1931. It is a non-governmental, membership organisation which aims to strengthen Scotland's economic competitiveness through influencing government to create sustainable economic prosperity for Scotland.[1]

SCDI had circa 1,200 members in 2012[2] across Scotland's private, public & social economy sectors, including manufacturing and service sectors, universities and colleges, local government and enterprise networks, trade associations and professional bodies, arts organisations, churches and trade unions.

In 2023 the organisation announced its new name, Prosper.[3]
