The UK is now proposing to set up a new generation of freeports which brings together manufacturing and science and technology.
The Government intends that the UK model will establish freeports as ‘national hubs for global trade and investment across the UK’, to promote ‘regeneration and job creation’ and to create ‘hotbeds for innovation’.
These freeports will not just be at docks but around airports.
