Join the GI Hub and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank for a webinar that will present the case for investing in infrastructure technology (InfraTech) to support the transition to net zero.
In the world of infrastructure, technological change presents both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge arises because of the large capital investments which infrastructure projects normally require and the threat that the infrastructure may become obsolete before the investors – whether they are public or private investors – can fully recover their costs.

A deep assessment of the FX risk and the development of innovative mitigatory solutions is critical to amplify the offer of long-term credit facilities for infrastructure financing.
