Welcome to this week's BusinessLive Wales podcast featuring business editor Sion Barry and enterprise academic Prof Dylan-Jones Evans.
This week they discuss the call from former Welsh Government Minister Alun Davies for a new regional development agency for the Valleys.
Mr Davies, in a frank admission, said that the Valleys Taskforce he set up and chaired when a minister, had run out of steam with the time now right, ahead of new spring's Assembly elections, to explore a body with statutory powers and ring fenced funding.
They also look at the promotion of Wales internationally and the decision of First Minister Mark Drakeford to cull the role of International Relations Minister.
