Ochr yn ochr â'r buddsoddiadau sylweddol yr ydym wedi eu gwneud fel Llywodraeth o ran cyfleusterau a hefyd o ran cyllid uniongyrchol i gwmnïau, blaenoriaeth i Lywodraeth Cymru o ran cymorth Ymchwil a Datblygu pellach ar gyfer y diwydiant dur yw gweithio gyda'r sector a Phrifysgolion i ddenu mwy o gyllid ymchwil y DU.

Alongside the significant investments that we have made as a Government in both facilities and also direct funding for companies, a priority for the Welsh Government in terms for further R&D support for the steel industry is working with the sector and Universities to attract more of the UK research budget.  The budget has been increased until 2020, primarily due to the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund.
