About Us
Avril Lewis MBE, Managing Director
“This year’s awards were outstanding and it was an absolute pleasure to welcome the industry and its supportive ecosystem to celebrate in person all things technology in Wales.
“The speed and the rate of technological advancement and adoption has been exponential over the last couple of years due in part to the pandemic and the current geo-political landscape. However, against this backdrop, what hasn’t changed is the commitment made and ingenuity of these companies to advancing technologies and investing in their people and Wales.
“I look forward to seeing what the next year has to hold for technology in Wales. We are excited to be spearheading the first ever hybrid Wales Tech Week in early 2023, an international summit where technology meets opportunity, as well as promoting the talent, innovation and ingenuity coming out of Wales.”
