Previous funding led to the development of an aquatic research and training facility at Loch Lomond.
Speaking at the event, Mr Brown said: "I welcome this investment and commitment to strengthening our cross-border partnerships and look forward to seeing people and communities in Western Scotland sharing in the benefits being delivered to all three regions.
"This huge investment will help projects delivering healthcare, transport, environmental benefits and wider innovation, strengthening our already good cross-border links with Northern Ireland and the border region of Ireland."
