Value proposition

We are Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), an ambitious organisation supporting economic and community development across half of Scotland from Shetland to Argyll, and the Outer Hebrides to Moray.

We help businesses and community organisations across our region to develop and grow. And we support businesses looking to locate and expand in our region too.

Our flexible support includes advice, funding, and property options to meet your needs. We can help you make the right connections, develop your workforce and skills, increase productivity, and adapt through innovation or benefit from climate action.

Whatever your business needs, there’s no better place to base yourself than the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
