Who is Capital Wales?
Capital Wales is a jointly funded partnership of the ten local authorities in the South East Wales region and Welsh Government. We’re the only partnership of this type in the UK.
Capital Wales was founded in 2002 to bring together and coordinate a number of inward investment marketing initiatives within South East Wales and attract sustainable inward investment organisations into South East Wales. We're a small, dedicated, team based in Pontypridd; to date we’ve helped over 100 businesses choose South East Wales as the region for them.
