Next-Generation Infrastructure: Power, Grids, Renewables & Energy Security
About this session
The next phase of infrastructure investment will be shaped by electrification, grid modernisation, renewables, storage, nuclear, and energy security. As demand rises from AI, industry, cities, and decarbonisation, investors are moving beyond single-asset exposure toward diversified platforms that can support the future energy system. Infrastructure fundraising and investor demand remain strong, especially around energy transition and data centres.
