The Welsh Government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting female entrepreneurs as a key driver of economic growth during celebrations to mark International Women's Day.
The Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, Rebecca Evans, made the pledge while visiting Deploy Tech, an innovative Welsh manufacturing company co-founded by award-winning female entrepreneur, Beren Kayali.
The company in Pontyclun, which produces pioneering portable water storage tanks used in critical infrastructure protection/climate resiliency, defence and disaster relief, demonstrates the innovation and success of female-led businesses in Wales.
It has received support through the Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme to expand into international markets, including India and Europe.
Following the visit, Beren Kayali joined other successful and pioneering female business leaders from across Wales for a roundtable hosted by the Economy Secretary.
The event brought together entrepreneurs who have benefited from Welsh Government support through Business Wales, Social Business Wales and Creative Wales to discuss priorities including skills development and investment opportunities.
