SMi Reports: Benelux Infrastructure Forum returns to Amsterdam on 22nd -23rd November 2017 to explore new financing mechanisms and alternative markets for future investments.

Infrastructure developers, investors, financiers & government agencies from the Benelux region will meet at SMi Group’s 16th annual Benelux Infrastructure Forum taking place in London on 22nd -23rd November 2017

Benelux Infrastructure Forum will present the latest opinions within the infrastructure market from key professionals in PPP, project financing and future market sectors such as renewable energy ventures.

New topics for this year include looking at the challenges of project risk in new markets for enticing investors and issues of increasingly greener regulations causing slower progress for projects.
