Protean was selected by the trade mission’s organisers, Connected Places Catapult, the Department for International Trade, and the UK Science & Innovation Network, to take part along with other SMEs developing products for the intelligent mobility sector. The trade mission aims to help the selected companies to expand into new markets by enabling them to showcase their technologies to a global audience.

The opportunity follows Protean’s selection for the Wayra Intelligent Mobility (IM) Accelerator programme, in partnership with Connected Places Catapult, which gives the business six months of development opportunities, including access to networks of like-minded partners, government agencies, customers and corporations.

CoMotion LA anticipates attracting over 5000 guests from the changing urban mobility market to this year’s event. Protean Electric will have the opportunity to meet global policymakers, key industry firms, governments, and councils such as Boeing, CalTrans, Nevada Center for Advanced Mobility, AECOM, Los Angeles World Airports etc.

The programme will also provide Protean with access to a private workshop with key regional and national stakeholders and to contribute to a UK delegation showcase at CoMotion LA.

Ben Boycott, Chief Commercial Officer at Protean Electric, said: “As society and policy makers worldwide look increasingly to new business models in mobility, we are delighted to present our innovative technologies to new audiences and decision makers.

“Our selection by the UK trade mission to CoMotion LA will be a great opportunity to meet some of the wider mobility ecosystem in the US, and we’re grateful to the organisers for offering us this opportunity. We look forward to raising awareness of the benefits of our in-wheel motor technology, and to extending our reach into wider networks.”
