Part of 1. Questions to the Minister for Economy – in the Senedd at 1:34 pm on 15 June 2022.
Yes. It’s unusual to hear a Welsh Conservative Member quote with praise the SNP-led Government in Scotland, but I welcome the plurality and the inclusiveness of the Member’s comments. And, actually, when you look at the ambitions in a range of areas from Governments across the UK, of course we all want to foster a greater culture of entrepreneurship. We all want to take advantage of particular strengths we have in our research base, but also in areas where we’ve actually got business strengths as well. So, if you think about the statement I previously made just a couple of weeks ago on the renewables sector, we've got lots to offer there, with not just our natural resources but real business innovation, and that's linked to the steel industry of course as well, investment in ports. So you can see a whole range of different areas where the ambitions not just for what happened on large investment, but the small and medium supply chain, and innovation, all have a key role to play. And there's certainly no lack of ambition from this Government on our economic future.
