Cyber Security:
- With significant cyber product and service-based companies already established in Dorset, our county continues to attract the cyber security sector.

Sustainable Aquaculture:
- Dorset boasts an aquaculture-friendly coastline, with harbours shallow and sheltered. Water quality is excellent. Warm sea temperatures and calm tidal flows make Dorset waters more attractive than competitor sites.

Visual Effects (VFX):
- Dorset is a growing centre of excellence for visual effects. Bournemouth and Poole are the UK’s top areas for high growth digital businesses. With a generous film tax relief system, supportive government and world-class VFX talent pool, the region is well-placed to take advantage of the on-going growth in VFX.
