Supported by a “Team Scotland” ethos, InvestHighland collaborates with partner agencies and the private sector to promote the Highlands as a prime destination for business, international investors, skilled workers, and visitors.

The Highland Council’s chair of the Economy and Infrastructure Committee, councillor Ken Gowans, said: “The relaunch and rebranding of InvestHighland is fantastic as it mirrors the scale of the economic opportunities we have now and into the future.

“Many decision makers and investors from across the UK and internationally are monitoring what’s happening in Highland and InvestHighland gives us a great shop window to promote these opportunities.”

The new website and Invest Highland brand have been established as a landing platform for businesses and individuals interested in finding out more about what the Highlands can offer. The website covers everything from the Green Freeport to the Creative Industries. It is geared to both large companies looking to invest in the region as well as individuals wanting to take up some of the new job opportunities and start a new life in the Highlands. 

The launch coincides with the Council’s participation in Scottish Cities Week in London, a key event for highlighting opportunities in the Highlands to a broad audience of investors and developers. This year sees a strong Highland presence, with representatives from the council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and the Inverness and Cromarty Firth Green Freeport.
