Return on the Investment In the period 2006-07 to 2012-13 manufacturing employment in Wales fell by over 40,000 from around 180,000 to a little under 140,000. Few elements within Welsh manufacturing are expected to see consistent growth of employment and output in the period 2014-2020 [3] Metric Target Jobs created in Wales 4000-5000 Payroll contribution in Wales > 230M pa Net increase in GVA in Wales > 378M pa Inward R+D/Innovation investment 150M Total value of R+D project involvement 300M Inward capital investment 100M inc new Foundry The UK CS average gross salary is > 53,000. Gross Value Added per employee across the UK was over 86,000 in 2013. This is greater than twice the Welsh average on both measures..
Story so far. >200M investment in core Semiconductor Innovation assets in South Wales Link to existing micro-electronic clusters in the South West UK Focus on Cluster building in the supply chain Creation of 4,000-5,000 high value jobs (equivalent to >12,000 average jobs) Europe s 5th and newest Semiconductor Cluster World s First Compound Semiconductor Cluster Cluster launched @ CS International Brussels on March 6th
