Collaboration is central to the public sector achieving greater efficiency and value for money.

Over the past year alone, we have worked with more than 180 public and private sector partners to bring to life over 40 infrastructure developments which are fundamental to Scotland’s economic success.

We continue to work with our public and private sector partners using a co-investment approach to put in place the right business environment for our key industries.
