Glasgow is the heartbeat of the Scottish economy and the centre of Scotland's only metropolitan region. We are a dynamic, talented city, with a robust business base, an educated workforce, and well-established infrastructure. We are home to world-renowned seats of learning, thriving key sectors, and serve as a retail, events, and cultural destination, as well as an international hub for business, tourism, and higher education.
