The Welsh Government has launched a new plan for Wales, setting out how the transformative power of artificial intelligence will be embraced across Wales to drive economic growth, enhance public services in both Welsh and English, and equip people across Wales with the skills to thrive in an AI-shaped future.
4,699 different businesses throughout Wales have benefitted from 5,184 investments by the Development Bank since 2017. This includes £89 million for 292 innovative tech ventures, and £275 million for Welsh property developers to build 2,302 new homes.
As the festive season approaches, HMRC’s Help for Hustles campaign is reminding anyone earning extra income from activities like making Christmas decorations, upcycling furniture for seasonal sales, or running market stalls, that they will need to tell HMRC if they earn more than £1,000.
The aim of the campaign is to encourage everyone to use the Welsh that they have, and for businesses, charities and organisations of all kinds to promote Welsh language services that are available to the public.
The grants are open to all sectors, including community groups, social enterprises, third sector organisations, faith groups, and public and private bodies.
Each area will receive up to £20 million of funding and support over the next 10 years to make long-term improvements that residents want. Communities will be able to spend the funding on what matters most to them - from improvements to pavements and high streets to investing in culture and green spaces.
Community groups can now apply for grants of up to £300,000 to improve local buildings, secure valued facilities and support spaces where people can come together.
