Islands Growth Deal worth £335 million signed
Today [17 March 2021], UK Government Minister for Scotland Iain Stewart joined the Scottish Government’s Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity, Michael Matheson, and leaders of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, Orkney Islands Council, and Shetland Islands Council to sign the Heads of Terms for the Islands Growth Deal.
The agreement outlines plans for the UK and Scottish governments to each invest £50 million in the future economic prosperity of Orkney, Shetland and the Outer Hebrides. This is anticipated to unlock a further £235 million of investment from project partners, delivering a combined £335 million boost for the islands.

£74m pumped into new virtual agri-tech hub
12 March 2021 |
The investment aims to transform the scale and impact of agricultural technology
The government has helped invest £74m into a new virtual agri-tech hub to improve the efficiency and output of agricultural technology.
The Easter Bush AgriTech Hub will be centred at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies’ Easter Bush Campus – Europe’s largest concentration of animal science research expertise.
The virtual centre will foster collaboration between researchers and companies to advance food production, work with new tech and move toward net zero goals.
Experts will use data to develop genetics and health innovations for agricultural science and business, and to build initiatives and novel systems of production, such as robotics.
