KfW Capital Markets Conference on Energy and Infrastructure
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.

TUMO in Germany
A state-of-the-art learning center where children and young people aged 12 to 18 can expand their digital skills free of charge: that is TUMO in Germany – and KfW supports this concept with advice and funding. Within a few years, a nationwide network of TUMO centers will be established in large cities and rural regions.
The raw materials fund as a building block of a resilient and innovative economy
Ensuring a sustainable supply of raw materials is one of the key foundations for the German economy, the digital transformation and the achievement of climate targets. That is why the German Federal Government has decided to set up a raw materials fund to strengthen the supply of raw materials to German companies as well as increase the resilience of supply chains and of the country's economy as a whole. KfW serves as the central point of contact for the raw materials fund.
Handling of security and defence financing by KfW Group
For decades, KfW has contributed largely to crisis prevention and peaceful conflict management, as well as to the strategic autonomy and resilience of Europe. Regarding KfW’s financing for the security and defence industry (SDI) or armaments, we see ourselves with a double responsibility:
Hydrogen core network: an investment in the future for Germany
Germany must become climate-neutral. To achieve this, it is necessary to replace fossil fuels with climate-neutral fuels. One solution is the development of a hydrogen infrastructure. This is a key component of the German government's national hydrogen strategy. As the financier of a new instrument, KfW is driving forward the development of a hydrogen core network. The core network is indispensable for the decarbonisation of the energy supply and important branches of industry.
As Germany's national promotional bank, KfW also acts for Europe. The KfW programmes can be used by European enterprises or private individuals based in Germany.
