• Our work with partners to provide a multi-port approach to the very significant opportunities presented by FLOW in the Celtic Sea.
• The Pembroke Dock Marine programme, part of the Swansea Bay City Deal, which will place Pembrokeshire at the heart of UK and global zero carbon, marine and offshore energy innovation.
