Dyma Ddatganiad Ysgrifenedig sy'n esbonio'n fyr y diweddaraf am raglen y Cymoedd Technoleg a'r camau nesaf.   
  
Ers fy Natganiad Ysgrifenedig ynghylch parc technoleg fodurol Glynebwy fis Mehefin diwethaf, mae llawer o waith wedi'i wneud, o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru ac yn allanol gyda phartneriaid lleol a chenedlaethol. Fe ŵyr aelodau bod y rhaglen, ar ôl holi barn rhanddeiliaid lleol, wedi cael ei ailfrandio o dan yr enw y Cymoedd Technoleg a chafodd gweledigaeth ar ei chyfer ei chyhoeddi ym mis Rhagfyr.   
   
Cynnig gwaelodol y Cymoedd Technoleg o hyd yw buddsoddi mewn sgiliau, seilwaith a'r amgylchedd priodol i fusnesau allu ffynnu ynddo, yn ogystal â rhoi cymorth uniongyrchol ac anuniongyrchol i fusnesau sydd am symud i'r ardal a thyfu ynddi. I'r perwyl hwnnw, mae arian eisoes wedi'i ymrwymo i helpu prosiectau eiddo a sgiliau fel rhan o raglen y Cymoedd Technoleg.   
  
Mae'n dda gen i heddiw felly cyhoeddi Cynllun Strategol ar gyfer y Cymoedd Technoleg. Mae wedi'i anelu'n bennaf at swyddogion ym mhob rhan o Lywodraeth Cymru, ond hefyd at ein partneriaid a'n rhanddeiliaid. Mae'n disgrifio amcanion a nodau strategol y rhaglen ac yn adeiladu ar y weledigaeth a gyhoeddwyd llynedd. Mae'n ymgorffori yn arbennig ethos y Cynllun Gweithredu Economaidd diweddar, gyda'i ffocws ar gryfhau economïau rhanbarthau Cymru a phwysigrwydd gweithio trwy bartneriaethau. Bydd hyn yn atgyfnerthu menter y ganolfan strategol a lansiwyd gan Dasglu’r Gweinidog ar gyfer Cymoedd y De yn ei gynllun cyflawni, Ein Cymoedd, Ein Dyfodol ac agenda fwy cyffredinol y tasglu sy’n anelu at gael 7,000 o bobl economaidd anweithgar a di\-waith yn y Cymoedd i swyddi teg, diogel a chynaliadwy.  
  
Er yr edrychir arno fel buddsoddiad cytûn o £100m, mae'r Cynllun Strategol yn esbonio bod y Cymoedd Technoleg yn cynnwys nifer o brosiectau annibynnol dros y cyfnod byr, canolig a hir a fydd yn amrywiol eu maint a chymhlethdod ac o ran yr arian y buddsoddir ynddynt. Caiff achosion busnes eu paratoi ar gyfer y prosiectau hyn yn ôl y gofyn, a chaiff pob un ei werthuso'n drylwyr.   
  
Mae'n dda gen i ddweud bod nifer o brosiectau da wrthi'n cael eu datblygu, rhai ohonynt yn rhan o waddol Ardal Fenter Glyn Ebwy. Hoffwn fanteisio ar y cyfle hwn i ddiolch i aelodau'r bwrdd am eu hymrwymiad. O ran y camau nesaf, caiff y cyfrifoldeb am reoli'r rhaglen ei drosglwyddo yn ddiweddarach eleni o Fwrdd Ardal Fenter Glyn Ebwy i Grŵp Cynghori Strategol y Cymoedd Technoleg. Un o flaenoriaethau cynta'r grŵp cynghori fydd paratoi rhaglen ddarparu.   
  
Fel rhan o'm gweledigaeth ar gyfer rhaglen y Cymoedd Technoleg, rwyf am weld canolfan o ragoriaeth, tebyg i'r AMRI yn y Gogledd, yn cael ei denu i'r Cymoedd a fydd yn helpu i weddnewid yr economi gan sbarduno arloesedd, ymchwil a datblygu a ffyniant tymor hir.  Y Cynllun hwn yw'r fframwaith ar gyfer gwneud hynny.   
  
I gloi, mae'n bleser gen i argymell y Cynllun hwn i chi ac rwy'n addo sicrhau bod aelodau'n cael gwybod y diweddaraf yn rheolaidd amdano.

This Written Statement provides Members with a brief update regarding the Tech Valleys programme and indicative next steps.  

  

Since my Written Statement regarding an automotive technology park in Ebbw Vale last June, much work has been undertaken, both internally within Welsh Government and also externally with a range of local and national partners. Members will be aware that, following local stakeholder engagement, the programme was re\-branded to Tech Valleys and a vision document was published in December.  

  

The underlying proposition of Tech Valleys remains to invest in skills, in infrastructure and in the right business environment for companies to flourish as well as providing direct and indirect support to businesses wishing to locate and grow in the area. Accordingly a number of financial commitments have already been made to support Tech Valleys property and skills projects.  

  

Today I am pleased to publish a Strategic Plan for Tech Valleys, aimed primarily at officials across Welsh Government, but also our partners and local stakeholders. This sets out the strategic aims and objectives of the programme and builds on the vision statement that was issued last year. In particular, it incorporates the ethos of the recently published Economic Action Plan, with its focus on strengthening regional economies in Wales and the importance of delivery through a partnership approach. This will also reinforce the strategic hub initiative launched by the Ministerial Taskforce for the South Wales Valleys in it delivery plan, Our Valleys Our Future, and the taskforce agenda more generally which aims to get 7,000 economically inactive and unemployed people in the Valleys into fair, secure and sustainable work.  

  

The Strategic Plan highlights that despite being viewed as a unified £100million investment, Tech Valleys will actually comprise a range of stand\-alone projects that will vary in complexity, scale and size of investment, delivered over the short medium and long term. These projects will be supported by bespoke business cases, as appropriate, each of which will be subject to rigorous evaluation.  

  

I am pleased to advise that there is a strong pipeline of projects under development, some of which are a legacy of the Ebbw Vale Enterprise Zone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board for their commitment to date. In terms of next steps, governance responsibility will pass from the Ebbw Vale Enterprise Zone Board later this year and transition to the Tech Valleys Strategic Advisory Group. One of the early priorities of the advisory group will be to develop a roadmap for delivery.  

  

It is my vision that the Tech Valleys initiative will attract a flagship centre of excellence to the South Wales Valleys, akin to the AMRI in north Wales, to help transform the economy to one of innovation, research and development and long term prosperity. This Plan provides the framework to deliver this.  

  

To conclude, I am pleased to commend this Plan to you and commit to keeping Members regularly updated on its implementation.
