The Welsh Economic Growth Advisory Group is a UK Government advisory group, chaired by the Secretary of State for Wales. It has helped to inform the UK Government’s new Industrial Strategy. The group held its inaugural meeting in Cardiff on 2 December 2024 and has convened regularly to explore opportunities in clean energy, advanced manufacturing, digital innovation, and foundational sectors.

We are regularly engaging with the work of the group to support alignment regarding devolved areas of work. A link to the Terms of Reference is as follows:
