Will the Minister provide an update on what efforts are being made to boost international investment into Wales?

Answered by Minister for Economy | Answered on 16/06/2022

We have increased our attendance at key international events and exhibitions across a range of sectors, following relaxation of travel restrictions and have also hosted an increased number of inward visits to Wales  from individual companies and broader business delegations.   Further visits are expected over the coming weeks and months, such as  the Wind Power Association from Japan, with 25 delegates.

We continue to work with a variety of important channels to market, including  the Department for International Trade DIT), to promote Wales as a compelling proposition and highlight High Potential Opportunities (HPOs) in including compound semiconductors and medtech.
