Question
Will the Minister provide an update on what efforts are being made to boost international investment into Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Economy
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.
