At the UK Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum in Leeds, Highland Council leader Raymond Bremner highlighted the investment potential of the Highland region. He showcased various opportunities for investment, including renewable energy, hydrogen, tourism, and culture, labeling the area as one of Europe's best places to invest. The region, particularly Caithness and Sutherland, is actively involved in significant energy generation projects like the West of Orkney Wind Farm and the MeyGen tidal array. Additionally, plans are underway for the region to become a hub for green energy generation and space exploration, with projects like the Sutherland Space Port and hydrogen production at Gordonbush Wind Farm. The Inverness and Cromarty Green Freeport project, a significant focus area, is expected to create numerous well-paid and secure jobs, attract substantial investment in green energy projects, and boost the tourism industry. Overall, the Highland Council is working towards a sustainable economy in the green energy sector, focusing on re-skilling the local workforce and creating opportunities for future generations.
