Digwyddiadau Busnes Cymru Business Events Wales
A new approach
The main goal and ambition is for events to be :- (1) linked to the industry sectors being targeted
for inward investment, foreign direct investment and economic development throughout Wales,
(2) subjects of academic, scientific or medical excellence or innovation that will showcase Wales as a great place to study, work and live, as well as visit.
Y prif nôd ac uchelgais yw sicrhau:-
(1) yn gysylltiedig â’r sectorau sy’n cael eu
targedu ar gyfer denu mewnfuddsoddiad a buddsoddiad uniongyrchol o dramor, a’u cysylltu hefyd â gwaith datblygu economaidd ym mhob cwr o Gymru.
(2) Cysylltu digwyddiadau â meysydd lle mae rhagoriaeth neu ddatblygiadau arloesol i’w gweld yn y maes academaidd, gwyddoniaeth neu meddygol er mwyn dangos bod Cymru yn lle gwych i astudio, i weithio ac i fyw ynddo, yn ogystal â bod yn lle gwych i ymweld ag ef.
