Ambition North Wales is launching a new podcast series which explores the opportunities being unlocked for the future prosperity of the region.

The series kicks off with an episode focused on the £24.6 million North Wales Clean Energy Fund, which is designed to be a major step in accelerating the region’s transition to a low-carbon economy. Part of the North Wales Grwoth Deal, the Fund will support private and voluntary sector organisations to deliver renewable energy, energy efficiency, storage, and decarbonisation projects.

Host Gemma Casey, editor of Business News Wales, is joined in the first episode by Matt Popple, Partnerships & Project Manager at UMi, Alun Jones, Head of Social Investment at WCVA and Meghan Davies, Energy and Net Zero Programme Manager at Ambition North Wales.

The podcast series is produced in collaboration with Business News Wales as part of its specialist podcast production service. It is available on all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
