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.

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.
