Vantage Data Centers Powers Up Wales Tech Week 2025 as Gold Partner
Technology Connected, creators of Wales Tech Week, is proud to announce Vantage Data Centers as a Gold Partner for this year’s international tech summit. This partnership reflects their commitment to supporting the Welsh tech ecosystem and positioning Wales as a hub for innovation, digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies.
Vantage Data Centers is making a transformative investment in Wales. Already operating a major data centre in Newport, the company is planning a 10-data-centre complex at the former Ford engine plant in Bridgend. Earlier this year, they announced plans to invest £12 billion across the UK, with Wales expected to receive the lion’s share.
Justin Jenkins, Chief Operating Officer, EMEA for Vantage Data Centers, said: “Wales is a cornerstone of our global operations, home to our largest European office and flagship Centre of Excellence. We’re delighted to sponsor Wales Tech Week and to shine a light on our investment in critical digital infrastructure across the country. As we expand our campuses and develop new sites, we look forward to welcoming more customers to support Wales’ thriving tech sector through our world-class data centres.”
As a Gold Partner, Vantage Data Centers will play a key role in Wales Tech Week, connecting with global industry leaders, investors, innovators, and policymakers. Their involvement underscores the critical role of data infrastructure in powering digital transformation, supporting businesses across sectors, and enabling the next generation of technologies.
Wales Tech Week 2025, taking place 24-26 November at the ICC Wales, promises three days of world-class keynotes, tech demonstrations, exhibitions, panel discussions, and fringe events, showcasing the people and innovations shaping Wales’ tech future.
Avril Lewis MBE, Managing Director of Technology Connected, said: “Vantage Data Centers’ decision to invest so heavily in Wales speaks volumes about the potential of our tech ecosystem. Their role as Gold Partner elevates the scale of Wales Tech Week and highlights the calibre of global companies investing in Wales’ technology sector.”
