Rail Cluster Builder - HS2 Opportunities for Scottish Businesses

HS2 is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to better connect UK towns and cities, regenerate communities and make a step change in the Government’s commitment to becoming Carbon Zero. It is already helping to boost the Scottish economy and that trend is expected to continue into the next decade and beyond. Already 2,000 businesses are working on HS2, almost all of them are based in the UK and most are SMEs. But there’s much more to come. Construction of the Birmingham - London phase of the railway is expected to create some 400,000 contract opportunities and businesses in Scotland are well placed to take advantage.
