Inward Investment
The Council, in partnership with Scottish Enterprise, are responsible for the national and international promotion of Glasgow as a business location.
Over the last five years this partnership has attracted over 15,000 new jobs into the city in the financial services, software and transaction processing industries, in projects with an investment value of nearly £1 billion. Significant progress has also been made in securing Civil Service and public sector relocations.
