🚢 Exciting times ahead for southwest Wales! The Celtic Freeport, opened in November 2024, has just rolled out its ambitious five-year plan to transform the region into a powerhouse for energy, manufacturing, and engineering. 💼🔋
Expecting to deliver over £8bn in investment and create a massive 11,500 jobs over the next 25 years, this project is all set to make waves. It’s a collaborative effort by Associated British Ports, Neath Port Talbot Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, and the Port of Milford Haven, aiming to propel green sectors forward. 🌿
Celtic Freeport’s strategy hinges on four key pillars: driving capital into essential industries, launching a £25m seed capital programme by 2028-29, facilitating development projects, championing local supply chain innovation, and establishing a thriving skills market with sustainable employment. 🌍📈
Interim CEO Cathy Hall stated, “This plan will help businesses de-carbonise, grow, and seize new opportunities. We’re all about cementing the region’s industrial future.” With plans to support the rollout of a floating wind farm in the Celtic Sea, the future looks wind-powered and bright! 💨⚡
Stay tuned for a transformative journey that promises to boost the local economy, nurture green innovation, and attract substantial investments to the area! Let’s get ready to sail towards a sustainable future. 🚀🌊
