Borderlands projects and programmes

The projects and programmes support the four strategic investment themes of the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal.

  • Enabling infrastructure 

  • Improving places

  • Supporting business, innovation and skills

  • Encouraging green growth

Some began at Deal signing in 2021 and have already been finished, while others are in the project development stage and will complete within the ten year lifetime of the Deal.
