UK Government Minister Anna McMorrin MP will deliver a keynote address at Wales Tech Week 2025, the country’s largest international technology event, taking place at ICC Wales from 24–26 November.
McMorrin, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales, will speak on Tuesday 25 November to delegates from across industry, academia and government.
Her address will focus on how technology is driving economic growth and innovation across Wales, as well as the UK Government’s efforts to support the sector through national programmes and investment.
Ahead of the event, McMorrin highlighted the strength of Wales’s technology ecosystem and the government’s role in backing it.
“Wales is home to a strong technology sector and is at the forefront of innovation in areas like compound semiconductors and FinTech.
“The UK Government has named the Digital and Technology Sector as one of the key areas of economic growth in our Industrial Strategy. We are supporting entrepreneurs, academics and businesses in Wales to grow and create good well-paid jobs through measures like AI Growth Zones and the Local Innovation Partnerships Fund.”
Her appearance underscores growing collaboration between government and the fast-expanding Welsh tech community. Organisers say her presence reflects the sector’s increasing importance to the country’s economic future.
Avril Lewis MBE, Managing Director of Technology Connected, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Anna McMorrin MP to Wales Tech Week. Her participation demonstrates the vital role technology plays in shaping Wales’ economic future and the importance of collaboration between government, business, and academia in positioning Wales as a serious player on the global innovation stage.”
Wales Tech Week, powered by Technology Connected, brings together global tech leaders, investors, innovators and policymakers for three days of discussion and networking. The event aims to showcase Wales’s strengths in areas including compound semiconductors, cybersecurity, data and AI, while highlighting the country’s growing role in international technology markets.
Organisers describe the summit as the place “where international opportunity meets Welsh ingenuity,” with a programme designed to explore how emerging technologies are transforming businesses, industries and wider society.
