LIQUIDITY SOLUTIONS IN INFRASTRUCTURE – A CLOSE LOOK
AT THE INFRASTRUCTURE SECONDARY MARKET
The transactions volumes in the infrastructure secondary market are
growing at a steady and increasingly rapid pace driven by the growth of
the primary infrastructure market, the need for liquidity and portfolio
restructurings. Infrastructure secondary investments provide investors
with differentiated access routes to quality fund and quality assets.
Speaker: Dr. Ingo Marten, Stafford Capital
10:50 AM – 11:20 AM MORNING COFFEE AND NETWORKING BREAK
11:20 AM – 11:35 AM KEYNOTE SPEECH
HOW TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES ARE CHANGING THE
INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL
New Technologies such as battery storage, encryption software,
electric and autonomous vehicles are changing the way we build and
use infrastructure.
Increasingly new business models are emerging where assets are
bundled with technology and service to create service platforms — for
energy, for transport, for data. While these shifts may diminish the value
of asset ownership they create new business opportunities — which
come with different risks from traditional infrastructure. In addition, new
classes of infrastructure assets such as electric vehicle charging,
broadband fibre optic, and smart meters are emerging — which are
based on technology.
Are Infrastructure investors prepared to embrace technology risk and
new growth business models with service-based revenues? How far
should infrastructure managers go in actively managing assets to
exploit growth opportunities based on technology and services? Will a
shift toward big data and customer relationships shift infrastructure
investment toward technology and industrial players who possess the
tools to make infrastructure intelligent?

INFRASTRUCTURE DEBT – GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE AND DACH
INVESTOR EXPECTATIONS
Investment into infrastructure debt provides institutional investors with
the potential for long-dated stable cash flows which can be used to
match liabilities, provide a yield enhancement, which offers relative
value to corporate credit and diversify risk. However, private
infrastructure debt is a diverse market, covering a range of strategies
with differing credit risks, maturities, payment terms, regions and
sectors. The panel will discuss whether the current state of the
infrastructure debt market creates enough opportunities for debt
investors to justify the increased exposures.

GROWING A CULTURE OF SUSTAINABLE & IMPACT INVESTING
IN GERMANY …. AND WHY SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT
INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY
There is a growing and strong interest among individuals in seeing that
their savings and investments do social good AND produce a financial
return. The financial services industry, businesses, social enterprises
and charities are crucial partners in delivering a society that works for
all citizens. Large amounts of capital are looking for productive
investment opportunities, on the other hand, there are many areas
where generating positive social outcomes needs investment at scale.
Infrastructure is such an area.
With rapid global population growth, increasing urbanisation, traffic
congestion, parking difficulties and air and water pollution, high-
performing green infrastructure, provides real economic, ecological,
and social benefits. Ensuring that the transport networks, energy
networks, and waste and water facilities in demand across the globe will
reduce carbon emissions and be socially inclusive. Integrating green
infrastructure into investment portfolios must be a priority.

GLOBAL ENERGY & RENEWABLE ENERGY PERSPECTIVE –
CHANGING LANDSCAPE AND OPPORTUNITY SET
Global energy markets are affected by several countering trends.
Population and income growth continue to boost energy demand, but
global energy demand decelerates. The energy transition is shaking up
the global energy system leading to the need to align the energy
intensity of the global economy and the global fuel mix, including the
rapid deployment of clean energy technologies and the growing
electrification of energy. The decline in renewables’ cost accelerates
further, out-competing new-built fossil capacity in the short to medium
term.
Which factors will play the dominant role and have most impact on
global energy
European energy and climate policy - has the consistency of the
political and regulatory framework improved
Repowering America
Current state of the balance between capital flows, sourcing of
assets, pricing discipline and risk
Where do investors find new value pools in the energy system
