Strategy and operating plan

Our strategy 2023-28

This five-year strategy sets out our ambition for a greener, fairer and more resil­ient region.

Our strategy is guided by the National Strategy for Economic Transformation (NSET), which calls for a new approach to deliver a green recovery and wellbeing economy for Scotland and all its regions.

It takes account of the leading role the Highlands and Islands plays in developing sectors such as energy, life sciences, creative industries, tourism, food and drink, and space.

There’s emphasis on harnessing the natural capital of the region to drive growth across these sectors as well as the wider blue economy – all of which are vital to Scotland’s economic transformation.
