Vision Marine Technologies Partners with Gateway to Lead Expanded Investor Relations Program

Montreal, Canada, Dec. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Vision Marine Technologies, Inc., VMAR ("Vision" or the "Company"), the leading provider of electric technology in the design and manufacturing of the first fully-electric powertrain outboard motor (E-Motion) and electric power boats, has appointed Gateway Investor Relations, a leading strategic financial communications and capital markets advisory firm, to manage its expanded IR program initiatives, including providing corporate messaging and other consulting services to the Company.

Gateway will work closely with Vision's management over the coming months to develop and deploy a comprehensive outreach and communications program. Activities will include but are not limited to: refining overall company and investment-oriented messaging and corporate positioning, strategic advisory services, and introductions to institutional investors, sell-side analysts and other key influencers in the broader financial community. Gateway will also assist in organizing road shows and securing invitations to select financial conferences and events, including its annual Gateway Conference.

"After the success of our recent IPO, we are looking to build on our capital markets momentum and have engaged Gateway to more broadly and strategically deliver our message to the investment community," said Alex Mongeon, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vision Marine Technologies. "As the only electric boat maker listed on Nasdaq and with the swelling investor interest for EVs and related technologies, we believe Vision has a compelling growth story to tell with numerous industry and company-specific tailwinds on the horizon.

"Gateway's extensive experience in the EV and clean technology space and deep relationships with companies and investors operating in our markets make them a natural partner for our outreach and communications efforts. Their proven track record in supporting emerging growth companies like Vision will be a valuable resource as we look to drive expanded sales of our industry-leading, recreational boating models and underlying powertrain technology systems."
