Wales - Where businesses make connection for growth
Wise investors have long recognised the benefits of working in a fertile business environment where productivity is high, the cost base is low and innovation is part of the culture. Welcome to Wales.
During the last two decades, Wales has grown into an economic nerve centre, where global companies and pioneering technologies thrive and develop. It is no coincidence that brand names such as Ford, Bosch and Toyota have each chosen Wales as their European location. Among many advantages, such as a highly skilled, highly productive workforce and tailored public sector support, Wales' location is key. The M4 motorway puts Cardiff just two hours away from London and Heathrow Airport, and the whole country lies close to the heart of the world's greatest consumer market - Europe.
Alongside the global giants and household names, numerous smaller and home grown businesses have started and flourished too - success breeds success on every scale.
For this vibrant business community, The 2010 Ryder Cup is naturally very good news, as it will spotlight Wales across the world as a dynamic business and leisure location, and a capable host for world-class events.

"Hosting the 2010 event will enhance the international reputation of Wales in key markets such as Europe, USA and Japan. It represents a massive opportunity to generate long term economic, tourism and sporting development benefits."
There has never been a better time to invest and develop your business in Wales. Over the last decade Wales has developed a strong reputation as a venue for high profile international events - The Rugby World Cup, Wales Rally GB and the FA Cup all having featured on Wales' events calendar.
The nation is set, yet again, to be centre stage before a global audience and proud host of one of the world's greatest sporting events.
"Hosting the event in Wales is estimated to be worth over £70m. Add to this the much harder to quantify but equally important value in developing the nation's image as a business and cultural centre and the true significance of the event can be appreciated."
