Welsh Government’s ‘mission’ to support Welsh Companies across the globe

The Welsh Government’s trade mission programme has supported Welsh companies to do business across the world. Case in point, the recent trade mission to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco was attended by a record number of Welsh businesses. Accompanying them was the Minister for Economy, Vaughan Gething, who said:

"In Wales, we’re serious about games and gaming technology. We support a thriving community of innovative businesses, making the most of local talent to secure international success.

"This is a key sector within our creative industries which offers well paid sustainable jobs. That’s why we’re giving games developers the backing they need to turn inspiration into reality, growing their potential in a fast-changing sector. This includes equipping the sector with the talented and skilled people they need to help them grow and thrive.

"With representatives attending from across the globe, this event was a great opportunity for Welsh businesses to promote themselves and, alongside Creative Wales, to show potential investors what Wales has to offer.”
