As the scale of the Clyde Waterfront regeneration project grows, more opportunities for future development are emerging on a regular basis.  This makes the waterfront a dynamic and exciting place for business opportunities and an ideal location for companies considering relocation. Already around £2bn has been invested in the area, mainly from the private sector.  The total value of investment between 2003 and 2025 is estimated at around £5 - 6 billion.
