The AI Growth Zone for South Wales will have sites stretching along the M4 corridor from Newport to Bridgend. An investment of £10 billion will lead to at least 5,000 new jobs over the next decade, from the construction phases through to careers in AI research and development.
The area will also receive up to £5 million in UK Government support to boost business adoption and skills in AI Growth Zones. Tech firms behind the site, including Vantage Data Centers, are committed to working with universities across South Wales to boost skills in AI.
An AI Growth Zone for North Wales has already been announced, with the site set to straddle the Menai Strait, with a base at Prosperity Parc on Anglesey and another at Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd. That zone is expected to create more than 3,400 new jobs.
