Indeed, staying ahead of the curve in technological innovation is critical for the success of businesses in Wales, and artificial intelligence is one of the emergent battlegrounds in business competition, and, on a global stage, companies like Sony recognise this. But here in south Wales, the award-winning Sony UK technology centre in Pencoed is leading the way in this and many other ways, including tackling the challenges of modern manufacturing and improving processes by using the latest internet-of-things technology, bringing together manufacturing production in a seamless process—into one, seamless operation. Last year, Minister, the AMROC research and development facility in Pencoed was launched, in collaboration with Sony headquarters and other facilities in Japan. And as Steve Dalton, the managing director, said at the time,

'Being chosen to carry out this vital research as a collaborative partner with our headquarters puts Sony UK TEC on the map, not just in Wales, but on the global manufacturing stage, which is something we are rightly proud of...It is also a testament to our highly skilled workforce who have set themselves apart thanks to their unparalleled knowledge and abilities.'

So, I wonder whether the Deputy Minister, or the Minister, or both, would accept an invitation to visit the award-winning Sony UK technology centre to see how an incredible team are putting Wales now at the forefront of world-leading modern manufacturing and technology.
