PEI Media and Infrastructure Investor welcomes infrastructure investors, fund managers, government officials and other relevant stakeholders to the premiere gathering in North America to discuss the proliferating opportunities in infrastructure and to reveal lessons learned from developing viable fund structures and securing capital amidst current financial conditions. The demand for infrastructure improvement is growing worldwide while government’s ability to raise capital to fund such public works projects is lagging. In the US for example, Obama’s stimulus plan allocates $150 billion towards infrastructure yet $2.2 trillion is needed to fix the country’s ailing infrastructure, according to the ASCE’s estimates. The imbalance is vast. For the private sector, this potentially translates into lucrative opportunities and an abundant source for stable sustainable returns.
The conference will build on the success of our 2008 Forum, which drew over 185 delegates and demonstrated that infrastructure is thriving as an investment class in its own right. To see the firms that attended last year’s event, please click here.
