Capital Wales is where you can reinvent your business, and yourself
South East Wales is Capital Wales and comprises the local authority areas of Blaenau
Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouth, Newport, Rhondda
Cynon Taf, Torfaen and the Vale of Glamorgan. 
Capital Wales is home to 50% of the
Welsh population and is the major engine of the Welsh economy, but this is also a
region packed with history, heritage protected countryside and coast.
Capital Wales was a key player in the first industrial age. Now it's a leader in postindustrial regeneration.We killed off the stereotypes almost as quickly as we built the Millennium Stadium.
Cardiff - one of Europe's fastest growing Capital cities - is a model of how a city should
develop. Traditional buildings mix with daring modern architecture. 
The culture and
nightlife is buzzing, yet there is still room to breathe. It's a symbol of renewal and
optimism that is spreading across the region.
Newport is now a focus for regeneration - and has already scored a major coup by winning the bid to host the Ryder Cup in 2010.
Capital Wales positively welcomes change and it's where the next generation of industry is thriving. Pioneering creative, technology and bioscience businesses rub shoulders with established world-class companies. Already Capital Wales has a higher percentage of employees in high and medium technology sectors than in the rest of the UK. This is set to expand.
You'll find one of the most skilled, productive workforces in Europe, but Capital Wales also reinvented the work ethic. We value playing as much as working. Around the UK people dream of balancing their work, family and leisure time. Here it's achievable, and affordable.
In this compact, accessible area you can change your environment from mountains to coast to dynamic city with a short drive. You can live like a fashionable urbanite or escape to the country. You can have genuine lifestyle and leisure choices.
Capital Wales is where you can reinvent your business, and yourself.
