4th INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTOR SUMMIT 2019 MUNICH

Munich, 21 November 2019

About the INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTOR SUMMIT 2019

The INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTOR SUMMIT 2019 is a private event held on behalf of and by opinion leaders in the area of infrastructure finance from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (the “DACH” countries) and beyond.

Contrary to most other events on the topic of infrastructure, the INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTOR SUMMIT 2019 is reserved for a limited, exclusive circle of guests consisting of established market players and opinion leaders.

The seniority and the high caliber of the participants combined with an open and dialogue-based event format will enable relationships to be established or cemented in an exclusive environment.

The setting and the atmosphere of the forum facilitate a constructive exchange on the latest and most innovative topics relating to infrastructure investments. The innovative and intimate character of the forum allows a direct dialogue to be held between decision-makers at investor level, leading infrastructure asset managers and other important players in infrastructure markets.

The small scale of the private event – the forum is restricted to 30 participants – is ideal for discussing market changes and investment opportunities at top level.

  • 30 years of infrastructure investing – the evolving infrastructure landscape.
