Meet the Funder

SMMT Offices | 5 December | 09:30 – 16:30

The SMMT, in partnership with the Green Finance Institute (GFI), will be running a pilot Meet the Funder event on 5 December at SMMT’s offices in Westminster, London. 

The aim of the event will be to help match automotive companies with the investment they need to help drive change and a greener future for the UK auto sector.

The event will deliver 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 will be spread across a range of types, including venture capital, private equity and auto industry players who will be looking for an equally wide range of company types, ranging from start-ups through to scale-ups and more established suppliers looking for investment to support a significant transition or growth plan.
