Cardiff digital incubator is first to get international award

A technology-based incubator in Cardiff has won an international award.

The @Wales innovation centre for digital companies has been awarded the best science-based incubator 2009 award by Science Alliance at its conference in Sweden.

It is the first time a British innovation centre has won the award. Previous winners include First Flight Venture Center in North Carolina, USA, and the Incubator d’Impresa di Città della Scienza in Italy.

Ieuan Wyn Jones, Minister for the Economy and Transports said: “@Wales is one of a number of highly specialist business incubation and innovation centres supported by the Welsh Assembly Government and it’s great news it has not only been selected for such a prestigious award but that it is the first in Britain to gain this recognition.”

The @Wales innovation centre offers FREE desk space and consultancy support for international businesses through Access Wales.
