We work collaboratively with local authorities, Scottish Government and the private sector to help us deliver national regeneration projects. This includes investment in Urban Regeneration Companies in:

• Clydebank Rebuilt
• Irvine Bay
• Riverside Inverclyde
• Clyde Gateway in the east end of Glasgow (where the Commonwealth Games will be held in 2014).

Transport

We do not have statutory responsibility to build transport infrastructure, nor to operate transport services. The role we play is to strategically target services and infrastructure, often international, which will act as a catalyst for economic growth in the Scottish economy.

We aim to successfully influence the public and private sectors to build transport infrastructure and operate services that support growth in Scotland’s economy.  Our Transport team also play a key role in transport development and project delivery,

Current key areas of work include Rosyth- Zeebrugge Ferry Service, Scottish Freight and Logistics and Transport Policy Development.
