Event Details
Europe has set ambitious decarbonization targets. The next challenge is to transform those targets into infrastructure projects that are technically deliverable, commercially viable, and capable of attracting capital at scale. In this workshop, we bring together infrastructure investors, financial institutions and Dentons partners focused on energy and infrastructure financing and regulation for a panel discussion on this hot topic. Join us to explore recent legislative developments related to climate targets, investment opportunities in decarbonization, and how to make such projects more bankable and attractive to investment.
