Information About

Welsh Development Agency




There are two main functions to the WDA's work: to encourage entrepreneurial growth in terms of the annual number of Startup businesses based in Wales, and to persuade Multinational companies to either relocate or open subsidiary facilities in Wales.

Employing several thousand workers, the WDA is one of Wales' most significant employers; in 2005 , following the stated policy of Assembly First Minister Rhodri Morgan , the Agency will cease to exist and will instead be merged with the Welsh Assembly Government along with numerous other Welsh quangos; this will theoretically result in greater efficiency, as all responsibility for business and economic development in Wales will be concentrated under one body.
