Locations in Wales

Wales is a dynamic and welcoming home to businesses from around the world. As part of the UK and its market of 69 million people, it shares a language and time zone with London.

Wales is an open economy with a wealth of expertise, world-class research facilities, and highly qualified talent.

It also gives you access to a range of support to help your business grow. And with its own government, it has the enthusiasm and ability to make things happen quickly.

Commercial property here is among the most affordable in the UK, and with our enviable lifestyle, stunning natural beauty, and a history of attracting incomers, Wales has cultural ties to every corner of the world.

Choosing Wales makes sense in so many ways. But which part of Wales? Our different regions offer unique opportunities for investors, whether that's because of particular sectoral strengths through an existing hub of companies or sector-specific research facilities and expertise.

North Wales, for example, is home to the world-class Advanced Manufacturing Centre, South East Wales boasts the world's first semiconductor cluster, and South West Wales is home to the Swansea Digital Waterfront Project.

You'll find our burgeoning fintech cluster in South East Wales, the Pentre Awel life science and well-being village in the South West, and the M-SParc Menai Science Park in North Wales. These and many more make Wales' regions so attractive to incoming businesses.
