REGIONAL STRENGTHS

Wherever you base your company in Wales, you'll find the infrastructure, talent and support to grow your business, and a quality of life which is hard to beat. But look more closely and you'll find particular strengths in our regions, which could be especially valuable. They could be sector-specific hubs or 'magnet projects' with the scale and significance to attract new investments, skills and collaborations to specific parts of Wales. These regional strengths enhance our City and Growth Deal approach and complement UK Government initiatives such as Freeports and Investment Zones, and they promote Wales as a test bed for research and development as well as future cutting-edge technologies.

Wales in a dynamic and welcoming home to businesses from around the world. As part of the UK and its market of 66 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.

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.
