PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS

Funding received from multilateral lenders, ECAs and DFIs have been essential to many Turkish projects. What is the scope of investment opportunities they see in Türkiye and how do they persevere in their role in the regional project finance landscape? What are the recent developments in the area, and what products are available? How is the ability of traditional banks and the debt capital markets to participate in deals impacted by IFIs?

The Turkish energy transition still faces several key milestones. In which we need capacity building? What are the opportunities to finance the transition gap? How will provide these significant financial investments?
How are traditional energy companies moving towards net-zero emission? What key technologies will help out transforming power generation and distribution? What are the risks and opportunities?
When will storage and green hydrogen become viable for backing up renewables?

This panel will review recent trends in the financial markets and 2022/2023 challenges. How is market volatility impacting financing conditions? Are inflation and interest rates having a noticeable impact on transactions? How are the risks perceived and who is financing what? How are net zero commitments impacting sector new sector investments? Expanding the use of sustainability-linked instruments

The panel aims to discuss challenges and opportunities cities face in attracting private-sector investments in infrastructure. What sectors remain promising for investors? What financing sources and instruments are in favour now and can the investment gap in the city infrastructure be bridged without bringing in long-term investors? What are the approaches for the private sector's risk appetite?

Examining key transport infrastructure pipelines across the region. To what extent are inflationary pressures and higher interest rates impacting greenfield project planning and capital expenditures? Today, what are borrowers' preferred sources and instruments of financing? What landmark deals could we see in the sector and their impact on the market?

To stimulate the wide adoption of EVs in the marketplace, charging infrastructure must be built. What are the needs and how to meet the demand? What support packages are available? Where are the financing gaps and how can these be addressed? Investing in and capitalising on EV adoption. Managing the risk associated with larger and more complex projects.

This panel will review opportunities in infrastructure investments at the city level with a focus on waste to energy and water. Panellists from different institutions will provide insights on themes: improving water, sanitation and wastewater infrastructure and W2E project opportunities in Türkiye.
