The North Wales Corporate Joint Committee, known as Ambition North Wales, has a responsibility to enhance and promote the economic well-being of the region.
As part of this remit, Ambition North Wales will work in partnership with Flintshire and Wrexham councils to deliver the Flintshire and Wrexham Investment Zone – which will see an investment of up to £160m over 10 years.
As a joint commitment by both UK and Welsh governments, the Investment Zone aims to enhance and grow a globally significant advanced manufacturing cluster.
It will unleash further potential for Flintshire and Wrexham, which are already home to high-value manufacturing operations and strategic industrial sites, by offering a unique blend of support, infrastructure and targeted incentives designed to attract and sustain businesses. Benefits will be far reaching benefits, extending across North Wales and beyond.
The significant opportunity for growth has already been recognised, with giants such as Airbus and JCB expressing support.
