Opportunity North East is the private sector leader and catalyst for economic diversification in north east Scotland. Our leadership, resources and delivery at pace are essential for green economic recovery, jobs for the future and the just transition to a low-carbon economy and net-zero emissions.
We work with partners to co-create, develop and deliver transformational projects and programmes in the region’s key sectors of food, drink, agriculture and fishing; life sciences; tourism; digital; and oil, gas and energy to grow businesses, create jobs and enhance the entrepreneurial environment.
Through ONE, the private sector shapes the region’s economic future, maximises growth opportunities and creates high-skill, high-value jobs.
More than 90 members drawn from the region's business community, its two universities and colleges, and regional and national partners sit on ONE’s main and sector boards. Their collective experience, insights and connections shape action and delivery with targets set for each of the industry sectors to build on regional opportunities and contribute to national economic goals:
We focus our activity on five themes across the sectors:
