Glasgow City region is critical to the UK economy and lies at the heart of the economy of Scotland.

The region has a population of 1.8m (34% of Scotland), clustered round a vibrant urban core with world class educational, recreational and business facilities.

The region accounts for 35% of Scottish Jobs, and 40% of the jobs in some of the key sectors such as Finance, Aerospace, Defence and Marine and represents 36% of GVA (£36bn in 2011)

Glasgow is a significant conurbation of scale in Scotland with the diversity of people and talent to embrace the future.

The city has a strong track record of joint work and the ability to deliver investments of scale with a clear vision for action – and the partnership with business and academia to make it happen.
