Investment Zone

In June 2023, the Scottish and UK Governments announced that the Glasgow City Region would be one of two areas to host the first Investment Zones in Scotland.

The Glasgow City Region Investment Zone will draw on existing partnerships and a strong sense of where successful clusters of priority sectors can be amplified and will benefit from £160million of government support over the next decade through a mix of tax and spend incentives.

The Investment Zone will be focused around the Region’s leading research institutions with a focus on driving growth in priority sectors. Regional leaders, businesses and universities are now taking the lead in shaping plans for the Investment Zone, and discussions between the Region and both governments are ongoing to develop detailed proposals.
