South of Scotland Economic Partnership (SoSEP)

SoSEP was established by the Scottish Government on 1 December 2017 as a recommendation from the Enterprise and Skills Review. It brings together a range of partners to support economic growth in the south of Scotland and is preparing the ground for the establishment of a south of Scotland enterprise agency in April 2020.

One year on from a series of SoSEP engagement events across the region, and the allocation of funding of over £8million to local projects, the Partnership is keen to report back on how that engagement helped develop its work plan, what progress has been made to date, and hear what people think about the future.

Stakeholder Events

These events are your opportunity to find out about SoSEP’s work plan, the projects supported with funding and how these are addressing some of the issues raised during the first series of engagement events.

There will also be an opportunity to discuss your views on the future, including the role that the new south of Scotland enterprise agency can play.
