The Solent Freeport was designated by Government in December 2022 and is one of 12 Freeports across the UK.
Freeports are new hubs for global trade, investment, and innovation within the UK that create a favourable environment and exciting opportunities for businesses to grow. By choosing to invest within a UK Freeport, you could access a wide range of customs and tax benefits, as well as support from government around planning, infrastructure and innovation.
The Solent Freeport stretches across three sites located in and around Portsmouth and Southampton, making it one of the UK’s most important gateways to European and global markets, with a population exceeding 1.25 million and over 42,000 businesses operating in the area.
