5. Infrastructure Investor Summit 2022

20. Juni 2022, Düsseldorf

Vorstellung der Konferenz

In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten haben institutionelle und private Investitionen in die öffentliche Infrastruktur stetig zugenommen. Die langfristige und diversifizierte Natur von Infrastrukturprojekten und das starke Renditeprofil haben dazu geführt, dass die Anlageklasse das Interesse der Fondsmanagement-, Pensionsfonds- und Versicherungsbranche gewonnen hat.

Infrastruktur wird eine Schlüsselrolle spielen, nicht nur beim Wiederaufbau der Volkswirtschaften, sondern auch bei den geopolitischen Verschiebungen, die sich ergeben können, wenn sich die Welt von COVID-19 erholt, mit dem Investitionsplan für Europa, der Ankündigung des „Green Recover Budget“ durch Großbritannien und dem Bekenntnis von Präsident Biden zu einem „Green New Deal“.

Seit dem Beginn der COVID-19-Lockdowns im 2. Quartal 2020 sind die weltweiten privaten Infrastrukturinvestitionen jedoch tendenziell rückläufig. In Q4/2020 betrugen die privaten Infrastrukturinvestitionen nur 60% des Niveaus von Q4/2019.

Der 5. Infrastruktur-Investoren-Gipfel wird die Auswirkungen des Virus auf das weltweite Infrastrukturgeschäft diskutieren, von veränderten Marktperspektive bis hin zu Anpassungen der Branche entlang der Infrastruktur-Wertschöpfungskette. Schließlich wird der Gipfel einen Ausblick auf die wichtigsten Trends und Entwicklungen im Jahr 2022 geben.

Infrastructure Themes 2022

Infrastructure Themes 2022

The Evolution of Infrastructure Investing
Historically, the infrastructure asset class has been associated with bridges, toll roads, ports and other real assets that produce long-term, low-risk and consistent cash flows to investors because of the essential nature of the assets. One of the biggest changes is the vast amount of investor capital that is available to be deployed. As demand has outstripped the supply of attractive projects to invest in, investors have tried to identify other assets that retain some of the core elements of public infrastructure, such as data centres, energy infrastructure and renewable energy projects. We take a global look at the health of the infrastructure equity and debt markets in terms of fundraising, valuations and performance, as well as the latest trends in the evolution of infrastructure investing.

Decarbonisation/Carbonomics – Key Themes that Drive the Economics of Net Zero
Achieving deep decarbonisation requires rethinking energy production and consumption and making a radical switch to renewables and low carbon energy sources. We discuss the measures that drive the Economics of Net Zero and the associated opportunities for infrastructure investors.

Digitalisation – The New Infrastructure is Digital
Upcoming major infrastructure projects could focus more on fibre optics and data centres than building roads or airports. We like to review what the accelerated digital developments mean for new and conventional infrastructure projects.
