Review of Projects International 2010 that took place in March 2010


The Essential Projects & Infrastructure Finance Event!

After 16 years, Projects & Infrastructure International is still the Number 1 meeting point for experts in project finance and major project developers. With 200 senior industry practitioners in attendance in Brussels in March 2010, the event was an ideal networking opportunity and one-stop shop for the latest news on global financing trends.

Why is Projects & Infrastructure International still the market leading mega Project and Infrastructure financing conference?

  • Market Leading Banks Assessed The Future For Commercial Lending & Project Finance! The State of the Union Panel is the only place where you can learn the real state of lending to this sector straight from the horse's mouth! Standard Chartered Bank, SMBCE and Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank were in the hot seat this year and suggested that levels of lending and even syndication were showing signs of recovery.
  • The Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals Summit attracted project finance directors from the major global oil companies including Total, BP and Exxonmobil. Attendees were delighted to get the inside track direct from the financiers on the outloook for financing mega Oil and Gas projects, with case studies including the PNG LNG project.   
  • The NEW for 2010 Raising Finance & Structuring Infrastructure Transactions summit was a highly valued addition to the 2010 event, both from a content and networking perspective. With an impressive speaker line-up including Hochtief Concessions, Global Infrastructure Partners and Meridiam, delegates took home valuable data on global projects in the pipeline and today's infrastructure development challenges.
  • Projects & Infrastructure International is the only event that focusses on the financing for greenfield and brownfield projects across all sectors globally. Attendees appreciate the opportunity to pick up information about the evolution of Renewable energy project financing, as well as understand the dynamics of financing projects in emerging markets.
