Progression to concept design and subsequent stages will be subject to approval of this Full Business Case by both Governments. The project sits within the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal and is being funded by UK and Scottish Governments.

It will drive transformational research and innovation to decarbonise the dairy sector and move it towards a circular bioeconomy. In doing so, Dairy Nexus will deliver significant and inclusive regional growth to underpin the rural communities that are so important to the Borderlands economy and its regional identity.
