We are Lead Partner of Powered Up 2026
We are pleased to announce that we are Lead Partner for the Powered Up Conference taking place on Wednesday 21 January 2026 at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden.
Now in its second year, Powered Up brings together key decision-makers, innovators, and industry leaders shaping the future of clean mobility. This year’s theme – Finance, Fleet & the Future of Clean Mobility – will explore the financial models, corporate fleet transitions, and scalable infrastructure driving the UK’s journey to net zero.
As Lead Partner, we will play a pivotal role in shaping conversations around funding and enabling the transition to electric transport. With decades of experience supporting UK businesses and a growing focus on sustainability-led lending, we look forward to bringing our valuable expertise and perspective to the conference.
Powered Up 2026 will feature an afternoon of panels, keynote sessions, and networking opportunities with industry experts across energy, automotive, infrastructure, and finance.
