KfW Capital Markets Conference on Energy and Infrastructure

KfW Capital Markets Conference on Energy and Infrastructure
Panel discussion with Federal Minister Katherina Reiche (BMWE) and KfW CEO Stefan Wintels, among others.

There was strong interest in the second KfW Capital Markets Conference on Energy and Infrastructure in cooperation with Deutsche Bank: Around 200 participants, including 50 German and international institutional investors, discussed current investment opportunities in the energy sector and infrastructure in Germany with the finance and energy industries as well as politics in Frankfurt am Main - about 20 percent more than last year. The globally invested capital of the participants amounts to more than ten trillion euros – which proves the significant interest in Germany as a location.

The aim of the KfW Capital Markets Conference on Energy and Infrastructure, under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, was to deepen the exchange among stakeholders. Concrete projects are to result from these personal meetings. The approximately 60 bilateral discussions organised by KfW on the sidelines of the conference also served this purpose.

The second capital markets conference was intended to send a signal of continuity to investors. For the opportunities of the 'Investment Case Germany,' according to KfW and Deutsche Bank, a strong capital market is necessary. This will play an even more important role in financing the energy market and infrastructure in the future.

Investors from Germany and the EU, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Canada, Singapore and the USA were present. Since the first event in the summer of the previous year, there have been significant investments in German energy infrastructure - from Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore and the USA, for example.
