Swansea Bay Futures Ltd has been set up with the aim of 'Promoting the Swansea Bay region as a place to live, work, study, invest in and visit'
Whilst the Swansea Bay Region has a wealth of attractions, including the fantastic natural environment - beaches and parklands, a maritime quarter, a lively social scene, and great cultural and sporting opportunities, many people outside of Wales are not aware of what the area has to offer... and in particular the excellent quality of life that you can find here.
The view was that this lack of awareness was contributing to the region failing to achieve its potential. Positive action to address the issues of improving both the awareness and image of the City and the region was required and Swansea Bay Futures was set up to fulfil this role.
Swansea Bay Futures is a not for profit company, limited by guarantee, and is managed by a board of directors. It receives support through partnership agreements with companies and organisations that have an interest in seeing the area achieve its potential and are prepared to work with the company to help achieve the goals set out.

Did you know?
When a sample of people who had not visited the City were asked to place Swansea on a map of Wales and England.
- only one quarter could correctly locate it
- another 30% were close
- but more than 4 in 10 of the sample were well off the mark.
- Worryingly, more than 1 in 10 placed it in areas outside Wales
- Whilst 3 in 10 placed the City of Swansea in a non-coastal location!
