Fife Economic Strategy

We are currently reviewing the Fife Economic Strategy 2009-2020, the document which sets out the future direction for Fife’s economy and outlines a number of priorities for the region over the next decade.

The new Fife Economic Strategy will be developed and agreed jointly by Fife Council and the Fife Economy Partnership later this year and its development will be informed by feedback from consultation with both parties and with the wider business community.

The current Strategy’s vision is to encourage sustainable economic growth and make Fife the easiest place to do business.

It aims to do this through

• growing existing businesses
• extending employment and skills opportunities and
• focusing on Fife’s competitive strengths.

The current Strategy also aims to address a number of issues and challenges facing the region by:

• developing a modern business infrastructure
• improving Fife’s knowledge and research base and
• developing stronger communities through economic regeneration activities.
