What
we do
we’re Building Wales’ next chapter, one system at a time.
Wales has always punched above its weight — we just never make a fuss about it.
From the copper of Swansea that roofed half the world, to the coal and steel that powered empires and built skylines, this country has shaped more of the modern world than most people realise.
- and We did it the same way we do most things: quietly, collectively, and with a deep sense of responsibility to one another.
Today, the challenges look different - climate breakdown, stagnant productivity, hollowed-out public budgets, social fragmentation, fading trust.
But the spirit that fuelled our past is still here, waiting for a new outlet.
What Wales doesn’t lack is ambition. What we lack are the enabling systems that can turn good intentions into lasting impact.
That’s why DC Group exists.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has”
a venture studio for Wales’ future.
We build the civic and economic infrastructure that governments want, businesses need, and communities deserve.
Not by writing reports that sit on shelves, but by designing and launching real ventures - new institutions, new tools, new models of delivery - built to last a generation.
We exist to solve the problems that no single organisation can crack alone.
The structural stuff.
The messy stuff.
The nation-building stuff.
Our mission
To design, build and scale the ventures that future-proof Wales — socially, economically and environmentally — and to create the conditions for the next generation to inherit a country that works.
Our promise
We won’t shout the loudest. We’ll do what Wales has always done: roll up our sleeves, build what needs to be built, and let the work speak for itself.
