And so it begins. Thank you to Team Canada members @cbnpeet & @kurtdevries1 for this high value-add pitch day to #SiliconValley VCs and OEM + Tier 1 Tech Scouts. Here in support of a few Project Arrow startup pattners. Thanks also to @autotechcouncil for hosting our delegation.



Wrapping up the day here at the @NAIASDetroit, following meetings with GM, Stellantis, and Ford. On Friday we’re on our way to California to talk with another auto manufacturer to bring more investment, create jobs, and build an economy that works for everyone.



Just announced: We’ve signed agreements with two leading German automakers – Volkswagen and Mercedes. This will help us meet growing demand, both here at home and around the world, for electric vehicles. More here on what this means: bit.ly/3PJc2e2
