We were absolutely delighted to attend the Wales Technology Awards and to accept the award for ‘Best Photonics Application’! The LUSS project was a successful collaboration between MicroLink Devices UK Ltd, Wide Blue and Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult.

The eighth Wales Technology Awards celebrated the industry and its achievements at a gala evening held in Cardiff on the 20th October 2022. The event showcased how Wales’ technology industry is transforming the way we live, work and connect.

Hosted by BBC Wales news anchor Jennifer Jones, the awards ceremony saw more than 350 people join together to put a spotlight on technology’s benefits to society and the positive impact that Welsh technology is making at home and abroad. The event is about celebrating the finalists and how they are a shining example of why Wales is the place to be when it comes to innovation, as well as creating and leading change.

Economy Minister Vaughan Gething said, “I’m delighted that Technology Connected has brought back the Wales Technology Awards after a two year pause due to the pandemic.

“These awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the thriving and world-class tech industry we have cultivated here in Wales. It is a critical driver of economic growth and quality employment, employing approximately 39,000 staff in over 3000 companies that collectively generate a turnover of over £8.5 billion.

“I am excited to see how this dynamic and innovative sector capitalises on future innovations in digital technologies that create further opportunities for our economy and shared prosperity across Wales.”
