Our Ambition

Decarbonising industry through clean growth

Our ambition is shaped by our commitment to creating a sustainable and flourishing South East Wales – contributing to the development of a low carbon and more prosperous region, firmly grounded in renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.

Established in 2023 and the brainchild of Cardiff Capital Region, we bring together the collective commitment and entrepreneurial spirit of a region that sparked the first industrial revolution – and is taking centre stage in the fourth industrial age.
