Aled Miles, CEO of Intellistack and Welsh Government Envoy to the United States, is returning to his position as Chairman of Wales Tech Week 2025, a role he held at the most recent Wales Tech Week in 2023.
The international tech summit, powered by Technology Connected, and taking place at the ICC Wales, Newport from 24–26 November, shines a global spotlight on Welsh innovation, technology and talent.
Wales Tech Week is a global platform for innovation, investment and collaboration. It showcases how tech is transforming every sector from energy and manufacturing to professional services, finance and logistics.
It brings together a powerful ecosystem of entrepreneurs, industry leaders, investors, academics and policymakers, positioning Wales as a global hub for digital innovation and a magnet for international talent and investment.
Wales Tech Week empowers leaders and industries to explore how digital transformation can address real-world challenges, drive sustainable growth and future-proof organisations. For businesses, it offers practical insights and tangible opportunities from forging strategic partnerships to unlocking funding, investment and scaling potential.
It is a launchpad for innovation adoption, new ventures and commercial collaboration, supporting companies of all sizes on their growth journeys and enabling businesses to do business on the world stage.
Intellistack, with its headquarters based in Denver, Colorado, serves over 32,000 organisations worldwide across industries ranging from healthcare and education to finance and enterprise tech, by eliminating inefficiencies and solving complex workflow challenges using their new platform, Streamline. The platform uses artificial intelligence and no-code technology to connect systems behind the scenes.

'It's not only about technology, it's about giving people back their time, reducing stress and making everyday life a little easier,' said Aled Miles, Chairman of Wales Tech Week and CEO of Intellistack.
'Imagine if every time you went to the doctor, applied for a job, enrolled in school or signed a contract, the process was fast, secure and completely hassle-free. That's the kind of future Intellistack is building.'
Aled shared his thoughts on the significance of the event:
'It's a global event, with major international presence, with guests and speakers all there to understand both what the world can offer Wales but most importantly what Wales can offer the world from a technology perspective. It's an opportunity for you to get connected and be connected.
'With the technology changes, the future of SaaS, and improved efficiency and productivity enabled by AI, as well as any potential dangers lurking with artificial super-intelligence versus artificial general intelligence, attendees will gain connections, deepen technological understanding, and derive real value from the conference.
'Wales Tech Week is more than an event, it's a movement. It's where Welsh innovation meets global opportunity. I'm honoured to serve as its Chairman and proud that Intellistack is leading the way as headline partner. Together, we're showcasing the ingenuity, ambition and talent that make Wales a rising force in the global tech ecosystem.'

'We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Intellistack as Headline Partner for Wales Tech Week 2025. Their global impact, driven by cutting-edge AI and process automation, speaks directly to the ambition and innovation we are proud to foster here in Wales.

Funding Opportunities for Welsh Tech Businesses
Ben Davies, Managing Director at Hexa Finance and Workshop Partner at Wales Tech Week 2025, shares insights on how Welsh tech businesses can unlock the right funding to fuel their growth. From asset finance to working capital, Ben highlights practical solutions to help businesses scale with confidence. Over the years, I've worked with many ambitious tech businesses across Wales. Whether developing new software solutions, building AI-driven platforms, or creating digital tools, one challenge is always front and centre: funding. Securing the right financial support can feel complex, yet it's crucial to growth. Wales' tech scene is dynamic and growing fast, but accessing finance tailored to these businesses' specific needs remains a common struggle. This isn't just a challenge for start-ups. Established tech businesses also face financial barriers when scaling, upgrading technology, or expanding into new markets. Even profitable companies can experience cash flow gaps that disrupt their operations. For established businesses, the challenge is often less about survival and more about unlocking growth. Investing in staff, equipment, or new premises requires capital, even when revenue is healthy. Understanding the right finance solution can help make sure established businesses maintain momentum without overstretching their resources. Asset Finance is often a practical solution. Tech businesses investing in equipment, from hardware to specialist software, can spread the cost rather than paying upfront. This helps protect cash flow while ensuring businesses remain equipped with the tools they need. Businesses can also use asset finance to upgrade infrastructure or replace legacy systems without delaying other growth priorities. In the fast-moving tech industry, having up-to-date systems can be critical for both productivity and competitiveness, and asset finance allows firms to manage this without depleting cash reserves. Revolving Credit/Invoice Finance are options that can make a big difference. Many tech businesses rely on large customer contracts with long payment terms, which can leave businesses waiting months for funds to arrive. Scalable working capital products can unlock cash tied up in the sales cycle, providing faster access to that money to keep projects moving, pay staff, or cover everyday costs. Business Loans are another flexible option, available in both secured and unsecured forms. These loans can support growth, provide working capital, or cover unexpected expenses. Secured loans tend to offer higher limits and longer repayment terms, while unsecured loans are useful for smaller financial needs with shorter repayment terms. Businesses may use loans to fund acquisitions, enter new markets, or expand their premises to meet growing demand. In some cases, tech firms use business loans to invest in research and development, helping them stay competitive in such a quickly evolving sector. When preparing to secure finance, businesses should focus on three key steps: Document your business plan – Lenders will want to see clear growth projections, cash flow forecasts, and details on how funding will support your goals. Organise financial records – Clear financial statements, including profit and loss accounts, will make the application process a lot smoother. Consider expert advice – A partner like Hexa Finance can guide you through the options and match your business to the right funding partner. Choosing the right funding solution depends on your business's goals. Often, a combination of options, such as asset finance for equipment and working capital products for cash flow, creates the most balanced solution. While the landscape can seem daunting, with the right strategy, established tech businesses can secure the capital they need to achieve sustained growth, invest in innovation, and strengthen their position in the market. Wales is full of tech potential, and with the right support, those ideas can thrive. Want to explore how finance could help your business grow?

Top cider brand pulled from UK supermarket shelves, pubs & restaurants forever in ‘huge loss'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR cider brand based in the UK has officially ceased operations. The company made the announcement after just eight years in business. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Jaspels has officially ceased operation, with the owners detailing the main reasons for closure Credit: Instagram Jaspels was set up on the Welsh island of Anglesey in 2017 by Janet and Adrian Percival, a trained bio-chemist. The pair initially put out a call on social media for apple donors to help launch the business. Jaspels went on to thrive, with the company taking on a production unit in Amlwch. Their cider was served up at pubs, restaurants, and stores on Anglesey and mainland Britain. Company statement In a recent statement, the company cited seasonality challenges, lease issues, and a change in personal circumstances as the main reasons for closure. "Jaspels has closed for a number of reasons," Janet wrote in a Facebook post. She went on to discuss the "unfair lease conditions" her company had encountered. "The estate went back on the initial agreement terms and we were only offered 12 months lease," she said. "This made a significant impact on the future planning of the business and impossible to make the cider on those terms." After already changing locations once, Janet explained they "could not possibly move the business again".

"A change of personal circumstances also meant we could not continue as myself and Ade separated due to stress," Janet added. While she left the business in November 2024, it officially ceased operation this month. She closed out her message by thanking Jaspels' loyal patrons over the years. "I would like to say that we loved every moment of Jaspels and will miss the barn and bar massively," Janet said. NHS guidelines on drinking alcohol According to the NHS, regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week risks damaging your health. To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks: men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week if you want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week If you're pregnant or think you could become pregnant, the safest approach is not to drink alcohol at all to keep risks to your baby to a minimum.

Trump suggests new name for artificial intelligence
By President Donald Trump attended an artificial intelligence summit on Wednesday, even as he revealed to the audience of eager tech moguls he was not a fan of the name. 'Around the globe, everyone is talking about artificial intelligence,' Trump said. 'Artificial. I can't stand it, I don't even like the name.' As the audience stared wordlessly at the president, he suggested they change the name. 'I don't like anything that's artificial so can we straighten that out please?' Trump asked. 'We should change the name.' As some in the audience laughed in response, Trump continued, 'I actually mean that. I don't like the name artificial anything, because it's not artificial, it's genius. It's pure genius,' he said, indicating he would prefer the name 'genius intelligence' better than 'artificial intelligence.' The president spoke after the White House released its AI Action Plan on Wednesday, which detailed the administration's efforts to boost the development and innovation of the technology. The document recommends that Trump streamline regulations and permitting to allow companies to build massive data centers and energy sources quickly to help accelerate the AI or 'genius' industry. During his speech, Trump announced he was getting rid of President Biden's executive order which outlined a preference preference for companies who prioritized DEI programs and climate goals. 'We're getting rid of woke,' Trump said triumphantly, adding that, 'It's so uncool to be woke.' He said his goal was to root out 'partisan bias' or ideological agendas from tech companies and artificial intelligence models such as 'critical race theory' which he described as 'ridiculous.' 'The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models and neither do other countries,' Trump said. 'From now on the US government will only work with AI that works with truth.' Trump acknowledged the dangers of artificial intelligence, but described the race with China and other countries on the technology as one the United States had to win. 'This technology brings the potential for bad as well as for good, for peril as well as for progress but the daunting power of AI is not going to be a reason for retreat from this new frontier,' he said.
