Wales means Business

OutBritain, in partnership with Tramshed Tech, is bringing together LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, government and allies for an evening focused on one big question: How do we make Wales one of the best places in the UK to start, grow and invest in an LGBTQ+ business? Wales has an incredible community of LGBTQ+ founders and entrepreneurs but talent alone isn't enough. Businesses need visibility, investment, customers, networks and opportunity. Wales Means Business is about bringing those pieces together. We'll hear from entrepreneurs, investors, Tramshed Tech and government about the challenges facing diverse business owners, the opportunities emerging across Wales, and why economic inclusion should be part of the country's wider growth story.
