Cardiff Capital Region’s Investment Prospectus – ‘Prosperity for our Place’ was recently published outlining; six core ‘cluster-related’ propositions and five key ‘enabling’ infrastructure propositions, together with a series of longer-term ‘bigger bets’ such as the creation of tidal energy and hydrogen hubs.
