Yn ystod ei ymddangosiad ym Mhwyllgor yr Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau, cyhoeddodd Ken Skates gasgliadau ei adolygiad o'r modd y rheolir Ardaloedd Menter Cymru, gan bwysleisio'r un pryd ei ymrwymiad i ddyfodol pob un o'r wyth ardal. 

Ar ôl y Pwyllgor, dywedodd Ken Skates:


> Rwy'n hynod falch o'r hyn y mae'r Ardaloedd Menter wedi'i wneud ac o'u llwyddiant ac rwy'n ddiolchgar am waith caled ac ymrwymiad eu Cadeiryddion a'u Byrddau Cynghori wrth sbarduno'u llwyddiant.
> 
> Gyda'i gilydd mae'r Ardaloedd Menter wedi cynnal dros 10,700 o swyddi hyd at ddiwedd y flwyddyn ariannol ddiwethaf, hynny am lai na £6k y swydd ar gyfartaledd, ac er bod pethau wedi symud yn gynt mewn ambell ardal nac eraill, mae hynny'n adlewyrchu'u cyd\-destun economaidd a'u sefyllfa cyn dechrau. 
> 
> Mae pob un o'r wyth Ardal Fenter wedi cymryd camau breision ymlaen.  Rydym yn dal i gael gwerth ein harian ganddyn nhw wrth iddynt osod sylfeini ffyniant y dyfodol a chreu'r amodau cywir ar gyfer datblygu cyfleoedd gwaith cynaliadwy mewn cymunedau ledled Cymru, yn y fyr dymor a hwy.
> 
> Mae'r cyfan yn ategu byrdwn y Cynllun Gweithredu Economaidd a gyhoeddais yn ddiweddar, sydd am roi grym i ranbarthau Cymru iddyn nhw fod yn fwy cystadleuol.
> 
> Mae prosiectau fel yr Athrofa Ymchwil Gweithgynhyrchu Uwch, fydd yn rhoi sgiliau newydd i fusnesau ac yn eu helpu i arloesi \- a phrosiect y Cymoedd Technegol fydd yn sbarduno datblygu a chynnal technolegau newydd yng Nglyn Ebwy, yn anferth o hwb i'r ymrwymiad hwnnw i roi grym i'r rhanbarthau. Maen nhw oll yn ffrwyth gwaith y Byrddau. Ni allant ond cryfhau enw da'r Ardaloedd Menter am gyflawni.
> 
> Mae'r newidiadau rwyf wedi'u disgrifio heddiw yn ysgafnhau'r fiwrocratiaeth ac yn defnyddio trefniadau rheoli eraill lle gwelaf fod hynny'n cynnig y ffordd fwyaf synhwyrol ymlaen. Maen nhw'n rhan hefyd o adolygiad ehangach o drefniadau cynghori ar draws fy mhortffolio.
> 
> Mae safbwyntiau Cadeiryddion yr Ardaloedd Menter wedi bod yn amhrisiadwy o ran fy helpu â 'mhenderfyniadau ac rwy'n falch o gael eu cefnogaeth gyffredinol i'r newidiadau.

During his appearance at the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee, Ken Skates announced the conclusions of his review of the governance of Wales’ Enterprise Zones while stressing his commitment to the continuation of all eight of the zones.  


Speaking after Committee, Ken Skates said:

  



> I am very proud of the achievements and success of our Enterprise Zones and grateful for the hard work and commitment of the Chairs and Advisory Boards in driving their success.
> 
>   
> 
> 
> Collectively our Enterprise Zones supported over 10,700 jobs to the end of the last financial year at a cost per job of less than £6k per job,  and whilst the pace of delivery has varied between the Zones, this very much reflects each Zone’s economic context and starting position.
> 
>   
> 
> 
> All eight Enterprise Zones have made significant progress, and  are continuing to deliver value for money by laying the foundation for future prosperity and creating the right environment to support the development of sustainable job opportunities in communities right across Wales, both  in the short and longer term.
> 
>   
> 
> 
> And this is something that is very much in line with the focus of my recently launched Economic Action Plan, which seeks to empower all our regions in Wales to become more productive.
> 
>   
> 
> 
> Projects such as the Advanced Manufacturing Research Institute on Deeside, which will deliver game changing skills and innovation support to business \-  and Tech Valleys, which will lead the development and delivery of emerging technologies in Ebbw Vale, very much support that commitment to regional empowerment and have emerged from the work of the Boards. They will only add to the Zones’ reputation for delivery.
> 
>   
> 
> 
> The changes I have outlined today are about streamlining bureaucracy and utilising  other governance structures where I believe  that represents the most  sensible way forward. They have also been made as part of  a wider review of advisory architecture across my portfolio.
> 
> The views of the Chairs of the Enterprise Zones  have been invaluable in shaping my decisions and I am pleased to have their broad support for the changes.
