FIND COLLABORATORS & WORK TOGETHER
If you’re working to make change happen in a particular area, chances are you’re NOT the only one with interest and expertise. Why try and do it all by yourself, when partners and collaborators are hiding in plain sight?
We are dedicated to breaking down silos and encouraging people to talk to each other, share ideas and collaborate. We support changemakers in communities, businesses and organisations to open up their conversations and projects to the wider region, creating inclusive, open networks of innovation and sustainable development.
We’re building a regional collaboration ecosystem, through our diverse range of projects, partnerships and events. Browse our current activity, and get in touch if you would like our help to facilitate local or regional collaboration in South West Wales.
PROJECTS & IMPACT AREAS
We are busy hosting conversations and events across our six impact areas, so that regional partners can connect around a shared sense of purpose, whilst making connections and gaining an awareness of what’s happening in key strategic sectors. Catch up on our conversations and activities so far!
Buy Regional
If businesses and organisations in this region buy more from each other, we can keep more wealth here in South West Wales, develop our supply chain, and create more opportunities for people and local businesses.
Destination & Transport
Tourism is a key economic driver for the region. An integrated, sustainable travel network is essential to prosperity and well-being. We want to help partners collaborate better across the region to develop both.
Development & Investment
Regeneration is something we should all do together. How can we ensure that major regional projects are designed and delivered in a way that provides economic and social benefits for the region over the long term?
Well-being Region
In a fast changing world, we think the well-being economy will be the battleground of the next 10 years, and successful places will be those that build prosperity by prioritising people, health, quality of life, the environment and equality.
Circular Economy
A circular economy is restorative and regenerative by design. We must move away from our linear economy (make, use, dispose), closing the loop to conserve resources and ensure long term sustainability.
Creative Economy
The creative economy is everything that relates to human creativity and ideas, IP, knowledge and technology. How can we support more creativity and innovation across our economy?
