Investable Infrastructure in Focus
InfrastructureNow at EXPO REAL puts the future of investable infrastructure in the spotlight. The focus is on energy, digital, social, and defense infrastructure, while the platform also fosters interdisciplinary exchange among investors, project developers, operators, financiers, municipalities, and policymakers.
Why Infrastructure?
The energy transition, digitalization, urbanization, and evolving security needs are reshaping the demands placed on locations and real estate. At the same time, the demand for infrastructure investment is increasing worldwide.
For investors, infrastructure is increasingly emerging as a distinct asset class with attractive long-term prospects. At the same time, infrastructure is becoming ever more important for the development, financing and operation of real estate.
EXPO REAL highlights this intersection and connects the real estate industry, infrastructure sector, investors, financiers, project developers, cities and municipalities.
