Recent years have seen changes to way in which large scale infrastructure projects have been financed. While many projects still largely depend on long term bank debt, with the introduction of stiffer regulations, funding is also sought from other sources including private sector investing, project bonds, pension funds, government funding and institutional investors. These all have different criteria, however without these funding sources, the rapid rise in infrastructure developments in the Benelux area could not continue.
We are proud to present the industry leading 14th Annual
Benelux Infrastructure Forum, 23rd-24th November 2015, Amsterdam. This year’s conference will examine hot new developments in the pipeline, including new ppp projects and the increasing focus on renewable energy ventures especially in relation to offshore wind and how these are funded. There will also be a focus on new and existing projects such UK Biomass Project, PPP in maritime and road infrastructure, flood infrastructure assets and much more!
Through a series of exciting case studies, presentations and panel discussions this premier event will allow unrivalled networking allowing for a gathering of industry’s infrastructure developers, investors, financiers & government agencies as they discuss and debate latest developments in the Benelux region.
This year’s conference will look at new pipeline opportunities in areas including:
- Evaluating mechanisms to procure infrastructure projects
- Project bonds – what is happening and what does the future hold?
- Reviewing smaller ppp projects and what lessons can be learned from them
