ICF specializes in organizing exclusive private markets events in the DACH region. We provide an information and networking platform for investors, investment managers, companies, project developers, experts and service providers. ICF hosts private, invitation-only forums and conferences as well as “roundtable events” for executives and decision-makers on the most exciting topics and trends in the alternative investment markets. These include the infrastructure, real estate, private debt and private equity segments.
