Gamesa investment forges another link between Dundee and Bilbao
The Courier
Gamesa's plans have forged another link between the City of Discovery and Bilbao.
The Spanish city was held up as an inspiration when plans to open an offshoot of the Victoria and Albert Museum in Dundee were first put forward.
When the Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim museum opened in Bilbao it transformed a provincial, industrial Basque town into a tourist destination.
It is hoped the V&A in Dundee will have a similar impact in terms of visitor numbers, but it will also play an important role in attracting new business and investment to the area — a move that already appears to be paying off.
