Proximo Europe 2023: Financing Infrastructure & The Energy Transition
Lisbon, Portugal - EPIC SANA Lisboa Hotel
Jun 14 - Jun 15, 2023
EPIC SANA Lisboa Hotel, Avenida Engenheiro Duarte Pacheco, Lisbon, Portugal, Portugal
Proximo recently co-hosted an amazing finance network hub in Lisbon with our sister brands, TXF and Uxolo Development and Impact Finance - bringing over 1000 dealmakers to the area, taking over the city!
Leading changemakers from around the world joined for the most forward-facing infrastructure and energy event for the European market. With unapparelled content and engaging session formats in panels and collaborative workshops, this event is unmissable.
This year's focus was on Europe's energy insecurity and infrastructure gap, as geopolitical instability, rising inflation, and underwhelming returns brought these concerns into sharp focus. These gaps had widened at a crucial moment when the need to manage the transition to net-zero emissions mounted ever-greater. Proximo gathered the world's leading investors, developers, government representatives, policymakers, and financiers to seize the opportunities inherent in financing energy transition assets, as well as financing critical projects in transportation, social infrastructure, and digital infrastructure.
Next year we will be moving from Lisbon to ATHENS! Hailed as the birthplace of legends, titans of export, agency, and project finance shall converge on 11-12 June 2024, with their minds as sharp as the spear of Athena and their ambitions soaring high like the wings of Icarus. We believe that this is the place to be for the leading project financiers and developers. Co-hosting with our esteemed sister brand TXF will bring your company to new heights with deal origination and thought leadership!
