Glasgow City Region one of two new Investment Zones in Scotland.

Glasgow City Region has been announced as one of two new Investment Zones in Scotland following a joint selection process by the UK and Scottish Governments.

The two Investment Zones, in Glasgow City Region and the North East, will each be supported by up to £80 million in targeted investment, tax reliefs and other incentives over five years.

Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of the Glasgow City Region Cabinet said:

“Glasgow has a proven and long-standing track record in successfully delivering on investment and today’s announcement is an opportunity to build on that – for the benefit of our regional economy and the well-being and prosperity of our citizens.

“An international hub of investment and innovation, the success of Glasgow City Region is key to the success of the Scottish and UK economies. But we’re also a region with the greatest need for public support to address deep-rooted inequalities.

“In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll work with government to develop the detail around the City Region’s Investment Zone to deliver on our ambitions for economic growth, inward investment, sustainability and a more inclusive and equitable economy.”

Innovation and fair work will be at the heart of Scotland’s first two Investment Zones, which aim to boost the economy, stimulate business growth and create high-quality, well-paid jobs.
