Plan to turn tyre factory into green transport hub gets £2.1 million boost

The transition of a former Michelin tyre factory into a new centre for developing skills for low carbon transport will be sped up thanks to new funding.

Scottish Enterprise has announced that £2.1m will be directed to repurposing the factory in Dundee into the Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (MSIP).

The money will go towards developing the site, including building new “innovation labs” and a skills academy, to set it up as a hub for new ideas and training for greener transport technologies.
