Maintaining and improving the strength of South Lanarkshire's local business base is now even more crucial if we are to create a strong demand for local labour and products and in turn make a significant contribution to the local and national economy. 

In order to have a competitive, resilient and sustainable economy, South Lanarkshire should aim to have a diversified and competitive local business base, involving a range of sectors and including a balanced mix of multi-nationals, high growth companies, small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and start ups, which are active in a wide range of markets - local, regional, national and international.

Each development theme has a number of key priorities which have been identified and indicative actions agreed across the Partnership.
