FedEx Corporation’s Frederick W. Smith to Headline SAFE Summit
[March 22, 2023] Mr. Frederick W. Smith, the Founder and Executive Chairman of FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX), will share his perspective on the global energy
Exceeding expectations, 600 attendees recently participated in the inaugural SAFE Summit, presented by SAFE and the Electrification Coalition, on March 28–29, 2023. The Summit kicked off Tuesday morning with The White House’s John Podesta and closed out Wednesday afternoon with a fiery retort from U.S. Senator Joe Manchin.
Over the two days, we heard from dozens of business, government, and non-profit leaders worldwide who will drive the global energy and transportation revolution. Speakers included executives at the highest ranks of companies producing the critical minerals, processing the materials, building the batteries, assembling and selling the vehicles, and strengthening the infrastructure that will accelerate transportation electrification.
The newsworthy speakers at the SAFE Summit attracted significant media attention, being covered by The Washington Post, Reuters, Politico, Bloomberg, Axios, and other major outlets.
This video includes some of the highlights from the two days. We hope to see you at the second annual SAFE Summit next spring in Washington, DC!
