The Welsh Government economy minister says AMRC Cymru is key to ensuring cutting-edge research and development (R&D) prospers in Wales.

Vaughan Gething visited the state-of-the-art R&D centre in Broughton on National Manufacturing Day. To celebrate the day, the AMRC organised a series of public tours of its facilities in North Wales, Lancashire and South Yorkshire.
