Protect the growth of the Welsh Tech sector up to and beyond 2020

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Wales has the fastest growing digital economy outside London. Growth of the tech scene jumped 9.2% in 2015 and around 3.5% of the total Welsh workforce is involved in IT. Government must restore confidence in our sector through strong policy milestones that the sector can rally around.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do to support the tech industry in Wales.

The Welsh Assembly has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to start a petition about policy areas that are the responsibility of the Welsh Government, you can find out more here:
