(Translated) Will the Minister provide an update on the Government's strategy for supporting research and development in South Wales West?

(Translated)

We will be using all possible levers of support for RD&I in South Wales West. The loss of EU funds is challenging, but our new Innovation Strategy makes a commitment to drive up investment from UK government and to be collaborative and competitive in order to access sources of funding.

(Translated) What steps is the Minister taking to prioritise and embed community wealth building in Wales?

We are working with public bodies to embed Foundational Economy approaches in their activity to help retain wealth within our communities and improve their wellbeing; shorten supply chains to reduce carbon emissions; build a strong Welsh supply base; and improve employment conditions and pay for workers.
