Co-creating an Economy that Works for the People and Places of Wales

Join leaders, decision-makers, changemakers, communities, businesses, academics, artists and activists from across Wales, as we come together to rethink our economy, its purpose, and its possibilities.

The second Wellbeing Economy Cymru Festival of Ideas takes place in Swansea on Wednesday 12th November 2025.

This inspiring and energising event is all about economic systems change, not business-as-usual.  

How are governments, organisations, businesses, and local communities changing the way they work, to enable a new economic system to emerge? 

What does it mean to unhook from extractive and destructive economic systems, and instead invest in things that create long term, sustainable wellbeing?

Come and share your work, connect with others, and be part of Wales’ Wellbeing Economy movement.  This event is free to attend and open to all.  If you live in Wales, the economy affects your life.  Let’s talk about it.
