The Welsh Government’s Business Wales service, which provides impartial, independent support and advice to people starting, running and growing a business, has supported the creation of 25,000 jobs across Wales since 2016, Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething revealed today.
The Minister said the creation of the 25,000 jobs in SMEs across Wales via the direct support of Business Wales is a clear demonstration of the Welsh Government’s commitment to encouraging entrepreneurship and business development in Wales, ahead of the annual celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week from the 8 to 12 November 2021.
The Business Wales service, which was launched in 2015, provides a wide-range of business support, from start-up support services, online support, shared workspaces, and specialist advisory services to help Welsh businesses grow and prosper. The service is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government.
10,000 of those jobs have been created by businesses supported through the Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme (AGP), a dedicated programme that provides targeted support for ambitious firms who want to grow.
