The Challenge of Change

Aberdeen occupies the key economic role within the wider Aberdeen City and Shire and is a well-positioned business destination and recognised international business centre.  This dynamic city has a number of globally competitive industries, excellent academic and research capabilities and a highly skilled workforce.  Global companies already based in Aberdeen have an ideal location from which to export their knowledge and expertise throughout the world.

In partnership with government, industry and academia, Aberdeen City and Shire's economic development activities aim to help deliver the vision of enhancing the status of Aberdeen as a world class city by promoting and developing the city’s role as a global energy capital.

In order for local companies to take advantage of opportunities generated through changes in the economic environment, advancement can
only be achieved by continuing to promote awareness of Aberdeen City and Shire and its local, national and international strengths.
