Sector panels

Each sector has their own panel. They are made up of private sector business people, who will advise on opportunities within the key sectors.

Sector panel role

The role of each sector panel is to provide advice to Ministers on the opportunities and need of the different sectors. They are to use their private sector success and experience to help the Welsh Government identify the best opportunities for business growth.

Our aim

Our aim is to see Welsh businesses, large and small in each key sector grow and create the jobs needed for the future development of our economy.
