SMMT Offices | 5 December | 09:30 – 16:30
SMMT, in partnership with the Green Finance Institute (GFI), ran this Meet the Funder event on 5 December at SMMT’s offices in Westminster, London.
The event helped match automotive companies with the investment they need to help drive change and a greener future for the UK auto sector.
The event delivered pre-arranged meetings between automotive companies and potential investors over the course of a day, with additional networking, exhibition and presentations for those taking part.
Investors taking part were spread across a range of types, including venture capital, private equity and auto industry players looking for an equally wide range of company types, ranging from start-ups through to scale-ups and more established suppliers seeking investment to support a significant transition or growth plan.
