- Russell Wilkie characterized the initiative as a foundation for advancing the nation by integrating energy, digital infrastructure, and regional innovation, while an independent analysis predicts it will increase Scotland's GDP by 0.4%.
- The development symbolizes rebuilding prosperity and sustainable industry in Scotland, signaling Ravenscraig’s role as a future-ready green AI hub powering economic and social benefits locally and nationally.
