BEYOND THE CONFERENCE: GLOBAL RAIL ROUNDTABLES

In an era of rapid urbanisation and rising environmental pressures, financing rail and transport infrastructure is both critical and complex. This closed-door roundtable convenes financial institutions, investors, operators, authorities, multilateral banks, and advisors to explore the full lifecycle of transport financing—from early planning and risk allocation to long-term structures and refinancing. Discussions will cover PPPs, government-backed funding, ECAs, green bonds, private capital, sovereign wealth, and other innovative models, with a focus on regulatory environments, creditworthiness, revenue risk, ESG assessments, and lessons from past projects. The session aims to share expertise, establish best practices, and identify opportunities for collaboration in future transport funding.
