During the visit, Ms. Martin received updates on the deployment of Invinity's technology in the UK and around the world and discussed the role that Invinity's products are playing in accelerating progress towards Net Zero in Scotland and beyond.

"Scotland is at the forefront of developing the technology required for the energy transition, including the innovative battery storage that will deliver real benefits for citizens and support our ongoing efforts for a just transition to net zero by 2045.
