This morning I joined the First Minister, the Honorary Indian Counsel for Wales, the Director of the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales, the Chief Executive of Neath Port Talbot Council and the Deputy Leader of Swansea Council at the Bay Campus for the launch of Swansea University's Institute for Innovative Materials Processing and Numerical Technologies or IMPACT.
The First Minister unveiled the plaque and afterwards we had a short tour of the facility, meeting some of the partners who are working with the University on this initiative. This included a local company who are manufacturing easily deployable air quality monitoring equipment, some of which will be installed on the 50mph stretch of the M4 to see if the reduced speed limit really is reducing pollution.
I also got to play with a remote control wireless robot and had a go at the virtual reality racing car pictured above on the left. I only managed to crash it once.
