Transformational Projects | ONE

Since its formation at the end of 2015, ONE has identified transformational opportunities for the region’s economy and developed these into funded projects in delivery. ONE has worked with industry, the public sector, universities and research institutes, and government to achieve this. Projects in delivery include ONE Tech Hub, BioHub and SeedPod.

ONE’s current transformational projects in development include Energy Transition, North East Adventure Tourism, Seafood Transformation and Best-In-Class Hospitality.

Energy Transition aims to capture the economic opportunity that net zero presents to the region by building on 50 years of skills, knowledge and expertise developed in oil and gas to secure a leading position in the energy transition. This new wider energy industry includes offshore renewables, hydrogen and carbon capture, utilisation and storage, anchoring a globally active energy supply chain in the region long term.

North East Adventure Tourism aims to develop north east Scotland as a world-class adventure sports visitor destination for outdoor activities building on natural assets from mountains to coastline and investing in infrastructure and visitor experiences.

Seafood Transformation is an action and investment plan for the seafood sector in north east Scotland that aims to anchor and maximise the economic value from the nationally significant catching and processing activities in the region.

Best-In-Class Hospitality aims to transform the quality of hospitality service in the region, attract new talent and develop the next generation of industry leaders. The current focus of this project is the pilot Hospitality Apprenticeship North East programme.
