The Horizon 2020 Annual Report 2017, which was published last week, shows Welsh businesses have attracted more than €16m of funding and Wales continues to achieve a higher proportion of private sector participations than the rest of the UK.

Professor Drakeford said:


> “Horizon 2020 provides real opportunities for businesses and organisations to be at the cutting edge of research and innovation.
> 
> “Our white paper Securing Wales Future and policy paper Regional Investment in Wales after Brexit emphasised the importance of Horizon 2020 to Wales and that it will continue to receive Welsh participation after Brexit.
> 
> “Horizon 2020 creates valued partnerships, which lead to direct economic benefits and has helped put Wales at the forefront of science and innovation.”

In the last year, Welsh organisations have won more than €30m of Horizon 2020 funding to drive forward ground\-breaking projects with partners across Europe.

Cowbridge\-based company Cymru Coal Ltd has benefited from Horizon 2020 funding, securing €1\.3m to participate in the €7m IMP@CT project. It is part of a consortium led by the University of Exeter and involving organisations from France, Finland and Germany. Cymru Coal is sharing its significant expertise in mining and related machinery to create viable new methods of excavating small and complex deposits of metal.

Gareth Thomas, Cymru Coal’s managing director, said:


> “We are delighted a small Welsh company is playing such a crucial part in providing the expertise needed to deliver a bespoke piece of equipment to the Horizon 2020 IMP@CT project. It’s rewarding to work as part of a team of partners with such varying areas of expertise.
> 
> “This project has enhanced our knowledge and understanding of hard rock mining. We are very appreciative of this opportunity and look forward to the potential benefits it can bring to Cymru Coal, the project partners and the countries of Europe and beyond.”

Cyhoeddwyd Adroddiad Blynyddol 2017 Horizon 2020 yr wythnos ddiwethaf, ac mae'n dangos bod ein busnesau wedi denu dros €16m o gyllid a bod Cymru yn parhau i ennill cyfran uwch o gyfranogiad y sector preifat na gweddill y DU.

Dywedodd yr Athro Drakeford:


> "Mae Horizon 2020 yn cynnig cyfleoedd i fusnesau a sefydliadau fod ar flaen y gad ym maes ymchwil ac arloesi.
> 
> "Mae ein Papur Gwyn Diogelu Dyfodol Cymru a'n papur polisi Buddsoddi Rhanbarthol yng Nghymru ar ôl Brexit yn pwysleisio pwysigrwydd Horizon 2020 i Gymru. Maen nhw hefyd yn nodi y bydd Cymru yn parhau i gymryd rhan yn y rhaglen ar ôl Brexit.
> 
> "Mae Horizon 2020 yn creu partneriaethau gwerthfawr sy'n arwain at  fuddion economaidd uniongyrchol, ac mae wedi helpu i roi Cymru ar flaen y gad ym maes gwyddoniaeth ac arloesi."

Yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, mae sefydliadau Cymru wedi ennill dros €30m o gyllid Horizon 2020 er mwyn rhoi hwb i brosiectau arloesol gyda phartneriaid yn Ewrop.

Mae'r cwmni Cymru Coal Ltd o'r Bont\-faen wedi elwa ar gyllid Horizon 2020, gan sicrhau €1\.3m i gymryd rhan yn y prosiect IMP@CT sy'n werth €7m.

Mae Cymru Coal yn rhannu ei arbenigedd sylweddol ym maes mwyngloddio a pheiriannau perthnasol er mwyn creu dulliau newydd ymarferol o gloddio haenau bach a chymhleth o fetel.
