Great infrastructure

Glasgow has a top class infrastructure to support the city's major employers. This is one of the reasons it is extremely attractive to companies considering corporate relocation. Transport links feature three international airports within 45 minutes drive of the IFSD. The closest, Glasgow International Airport, only 15 minutes away, offers almost 70 flights each week day to London airports and serves 90 destinations worldwide.

Glasgow has the UK's largest suburban rail network outside London and its biggest rail station, Glasgow Central, sits on the eastern edge of the IFSD.

Along the western edge is the M8 motorway, offering ready access to Scotland's motorway network and all points north, south, east and west.

The city also has an underground rail system with two stations offering easy access to the IFSD.

Top Technology

Glasgow offers one of the most sophisticated, competitive telecommunications environments in Europe. BT, an early partner in the IFSD's development, has invested £50 million in the broadband infrastructure which helps the city deliver class leading standards for security of service, value for money, future proofing and fast, reliable connectivity.

All of this is backed by a further £50 million investment in the public realm, creating a high quality environment for the District and ensuring that every visit to the IFSD is impressive from start to finish.
