Attracting more UK and international investment could help Wales to become an economic powerhouse in many of the key industries of the future.
This free-to-attend networking event will bring together business and civic leaders to discuss how the country can attract businesses in sectors such as advanced manufacturing, green industries, film and TV, life sciences, finance and technology.
The panel will consider how external investment can create a lasting, sustainable and positive legacy for as much of Wales as possible.
Topics of discussion include:
• What are Wales’s key strengths in looking to attract and retain UK and foreign investment?
• What can external investment do to enable Wales to meet its net zero commitments?
• What kinds of property do international investors seek to occupy, and how can Wales meet their needs?
• How can Wales develop its brand strength to stand out to potential investors?
• How can training and apprenticeships build a workforce to attract and reward investment?
