Mr Green said: "Speaking in my own 'back yard' at a major business event was a real treat. It was great to meet so many businesspeople who care passionately about putting West Wales on the business map. There's a great entrepreneurial spirit in West Wales and we should be very proud at what many businesses are trying to achieve."
