🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: active

AI Reasoning: I found HIE announcements of investments in 2025, including HIE approving and committing funds (e.g., approved up to £78.5m in 2024/25 and specific approvals published 29 July 2025 and March/October 2025). The most recent identified investment activity is July 29, 2025 (island investment outturns) and March 17, 2025 (approved up to £10m at Port of Nigg). The most recent named investment related to a project is the Nigg Inner East Quay funding and island/Orkney investments; these are within 6 months to 3 months prior to the reference date, placing the investor in the ‘active’ category.

Here are the thresholds established for the different statuses:
Not Active – No known investments in the last 12 months.
Low Activity – Only known investments between the last 12 and 6 months.
Active – Known investments between the last 6 and 3 months.
Very Active – Known investments in the last 3 months.
