The Future of Infrastructure
Thanks to a five-year agreement and a generous philanthropic donation, the Antin IP Associate Professorship in Infrastructure Finance has been launched yesterday with a Lectio Inauguralis given by the Professorship holder, Stefano Gatti. In his speech, Prof. Gatti outlined the megatrends poised to affect infrastructure investment in the next 15 years. Recent estimates indicate an infrastructure need of about USD 57 trillion worldwide from now to 2030, with a potentially huge demand for greenfield and brownfield investments and “dry powder” available to infrastructure asset managers reaching an unprecedented USD 156 billion in June 2017.
