Covid-19 statement
Opportunity North East (ONE) has reviewed its programmes and projects in the context of COVID-19 and planning long-term economic recovery. ONE is accelerating projects with a focus on the energy transition, digital, and advanced manufacturing and automation to support business growth in north east Scotland's key industry sectors and secure jobs for the future.
The ONE team is working with our sector boards, businesses, partners and colleagues in industry organisations, local authorities, the enterprise and skills agencies, and national government. This includes connecting businesses to funding support, developing action plans for the region's key sectors in the economic recovery phase and maintaining momentum for the sector-specific transformational projects that will drive recovery in the region and nationally.
If we can support you with advice and guidance in the current climate or help you to access the Government support available, then please get in touch with us via your usual points of contact in ONE.
The primary source of online information on the Government-led business funding and support that is available in Scotland, including eligibility and how to apply, remains the https://findbusinesssupport.gov.scot/ website.
