Infrastructure acquisitions in Denmark are increasing in size and complexity, but despite governmental support in favour of PPP financing and project development, very few infrastructure projects are funded through PPPs. The different financing trends will be debated and we will hear from some of the key stakeholders and project executives from major Danish infratructure projects, who will provide their insights on how the Danish infrastructure acquisition and infrastructure financing market is developing. Topics addressed will range from the political landscape for PPP financing to concrete experiences with infrastructure acquisition for the Femern Project to the Danish trend of pension fund investment into renewable energy.
