Some Arrival vans will be showcased at the Global Investment Summit, which will be held in London on Tuesday 19th October in Central London. Such a decision is due to the UK government, which picked Arrival as «one of the ‘Green Dozen’ UK-based companies excelling in areas of sustainability, innovation, and green technology». The Global Investment Summit will welcome 200 of the world’s most prominent decision makers, investors, C-Suite executives, and heads of major political institutions. In the meantime, why not to mention that Arrival has organized an European roadshow that will bring the e-vans all over the Old Continent until March 2022.

Avinash Rugoobur, President of Arrival said: «It’s an honour to be selected by the UK Government to present Arrival at the Global Investment Summit. Arrival’s rapid growth is a clear reflection of the demand for more sustainable and equitable mobility solutions for cities and governments here in the UK, and around the world. We’re proud to showcase Arrival’s mission and our in-house innovations in such a prestigious setting, as we transform the automotive industry and pioneer a radical new method of EV design and production in local Microfactories globally».

The UK as a global hub for green technology

Minister for Investment, Gerry Grimstone added: «The Global Investment Summit will put UK innovation on the map and demonstrate how we can use investment to nurture technological developments and propel our economy towards a more prosperous, exciting future. Our showcase businesses show why the UK is a global hub for green technology, and I am proud that Arrival will be presenting their innovative zero-emission electric vehicles through digital experiences to some of the world’s most high profile investors at the summit. Our industries of the future like the automotive industry will not only help ensure a cleaner, greener planet but also create high value jobs in Oxfordshire and across the UK».
