Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:11 pm on 20 June 2017.
Thank you, First Minister. The market disruption that’s accompanying what’s widely called the fourth industrial revolution does give us an opportunity to reimagine the Welsh economy and make it more resilient to the challenges being unleashed by global forces. The current Innovation Wales strategy does need updating and it does need greater ambition in the face of this. Would the First Minister agree to a radical review of where future opportunities lie, looking particularly at emerging markets and not just existing ones, and looking beyond infrastructure investment and concentrating on more intangible ways of boosting growth in this vital area?
