About us

About HIE Shetland

The role of Shetland Enterprise is to help people, companies and organisations within the local economy to realise their full potential. We have powers and resources for economic and social development and, in co-operation with the people of Shetland, our goal is to help create a strong diverse and sustainable economy where quality of life is matched by quality of opportunity.

While recognising that Shetland's traditional industries - agriculture, knitwear and seafood - continue to offer development opportunities, we are equally alert to the potential in tourism, the knowledge based industries, oil industry service provision and small scale manufacturing. We believe that income and employment growth can be achieved by concentrating our efforts and resources on these sectors.

Shetland Enterprise is part of the Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) network.
