Clwb Arloesi - A Dedicated Welsh Language Space

Welcome to Clwb Arloesi, the innovative Welsh language programme hosted by AberInnovation and part-funded by the Enterprising Communities Fund, ARFOR Programme, funded by Welsh Government.

Clwb Arloesi stands as a pioneering initiative designed to not only embrace the rich linguistic heritage of Wales but also to foster a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. At its core, Clwb Arloesi is a catalyst for attracting entrepreneurs and businesses that place a high value on the Welsh language, employing proactive meetings and engagement strategies to promote its vibrant use.

Our programme offers a diverse range of workshops on-site at AberInnovation, tours, and content carefully tailored to businesses in the region of Ceredigion.

AberInnovation serves as the cornerstone, providing a dedicated 'Welsh language space' where the heart and soul of entrepreneurship, employment, and growth opportunities in agriculture, food, environment, and the circular economy come alive through the Welsh language.

With Clwb Arloesi, our goal is to inspire and empower businesses to take root and flourish in Ceredigion, bolstering the local economy and strengthening the Welsh language community.
