“Aberdeen has a really strong identity and sense of purpose. It is very European, very attractive to students, many of whom stay on, drawn by the quality of life, education and employability. We work closely with companies, ONE, Aberdeen City Deal and the Chamber of Commerce. The National Decommissioning Centre, established with the Oil and Gas Centre and the City Deal is an example of the kind of super collaboration we undertake to ensure Aberdeen benefits from new forms of energy as we transition.”
