Beyond PPP? Financing Germany’s Infrastructure Future
The announcement of a €500 billion public infrastructure fund by Germany’s incoming government marks a pivotal moment for the country's infrastructure agenda. While the CDU/CSU are vocal proponents of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), their coalition partner SPD remains cautious. This event explores the evolving funding landscape and assesses what role PPPs will realistically play alongside other financing models.
Join us for an interactive panel discussion examining how to mobilise private capital, the balance between public and private funding, and what infrastructure delivery might look like under the new government.
Key Topics
- The role of PPP in Germany’s future infrastructure strategy
- Beyond PPP – what other financing models will shape the market?
- Public vs. private funding – what is the right mix?
- Mobilising private capital – opportunities for institutional investors, banks, and developers
- Speeding up implementation – how to make funding work quickly?
