Highlands and Islands Enterprise
Approvals List January - March 2021
This approvals list for Highlands and Islands Enterprise provides details on financial assistance awarded to businesses, community groups, public sector partners and other organisations to deliver specific projects. The list also provides details on projects that are led and managed by HIE itself, sometimes in partnership with other organisations.
Please note that the sums relate to approvals, not payments. The approval simply shows that funds have been made available, but they will not be released until evidence is received which shows that the project or activity has gone ahead as planned. In addition, draw down of funds will be conditional on appropriate legal terms and conditions being agreed between HIE and the applicant and satisfaction of any pre-payment conditions.
We have not included approvals made to businesses under the Scottish Wedding Industry Fund (SWIF) which had been published previously. Details of these approvals can be accessed at the following link https://www.hie.co.uk/media/10484/swif-recipients-pdf.pdf
