Port Talbot-based customer experience technology provider, Vizolution, has been confirmed as the first Welsh firm to feature in the annual Tech Nation Future Fifty growth programme.
The company, which helps enterprises replicate the qualities of face-to-face interactions within remote channels, and whose customers including high street bank, joins 27 other British tech companies in the Future Fifty 8.0 programme.
Its chief executive Bill Safran said: “As a scale up that has enjoyed considerable success so far, we decided to enter Future Fifty to expedite our expansion and are delighted to have been selected in this year’s growth programme.
"We work with over 30 global enterprises from the financial services and telecom industries (including HSBC, Santander and RBS) and are currently focused on expanding our client base.
"The Wales technology sector is well established, with a very supportive ecosystem, so we are incredibly proud to be first ever Welsh technology company on the list.”
Future Fifty was established in 2013 to champion and support British tech businesses as they scale up their operations nationally and internationally. The programme supports the companies in creating jobs and opportunities across the 海角视频 and inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs.
2019 proved to be a positive year for 海角视频 technology companies, with the tech sector growing six times faster than any other industry. Digital tech now employs 2.9m people in the 海角视频 and accounts for 9% of the national workforce.
Gerard Grech, chief Executive, Tech Nation, said: “In a rapidly changing world, the 海角视频 is a shining light for tech entrepreneurs, investors and employees.”

Approximately 45% of the scaleups are based outside of London, including in Chester, Coventry, Leeds, and, of course, Port Talbot, which is where Vizolution is headquartered.
