Opportunity Cromarty Firth is an ambitious and collaborative initiative, exploring the opportunity for the Cromarty Firth to become a ‘Free Trade Zone’, as part of the UK Government’s post-Brexit economic growth strategy.

The creation of a free trade zone in the Cromarty Firth will help secure a sustainable 50-year pipeline of supply chain opportunities, primarily in the offshore renewable energy sector.

The ambitions of the project are to stimulate economic activity and employment, attract inward investment in innovative renewable energy technologies of the future and equip local people and businesses with skills in these sectors to bring transformational regeneration to the Highlands.
