Countries in the world are in increasing demand of infrastructure, as not only is it necessary for improving people’s living standards, it also serves as one of the most important engines in driving the world economy out of its current crisis. In general, against the background of diversifying financiers, there will be a promising and wide prospect for the cooperation and investment in international infrastructure. But the specific domains, methods and conditions for cooperation would differ in view of the difference between countries and regions. Delegates from different countries and sectors shall talk about the prospect, opportunities and other related hot topics regarding the cooperation and investment in international infrastructure in light of their own specificities and the growth of world economy.

The core of cooperation on international infrastructure investment is the flow and cooperation of capital. Investors cannot concern more about the fact that whether the host country can provide convenience for their investments and whether their legal rights can be protected. What do investors expect of destination countries? On the part of destination countries, into what sectors do they expect investors would get involved? What favorable terms and convenience can they provide to investors? What timely services can consultancy agencies provide? Our distinguished guests from those related sectors will view their concerns and comments in this regard.

Most of the major international contractors have grown from project contractors to investment and development enterprise with complete business chains and enhanced capability in financing, investment and development, operation and management, transforming themselves from project contractors into investors and developers in addition to project contractors. In the process of transformation, business models must be innovated to cater to and serve the growth of business.

Infrastructure projects are characterized with huge capital demand, high risk, extended project cycle and poor liquidity. Difficulty in financing and the absence of financing channels are often among the biggest problems infrastructure projects are faced with. To solve the problems in financing, a variety of funds, multilateral banks, investment banks, credit insurance companies have come up with a number of innovative financing solutions and tools, diversifying the financing channels and accelerating the growth of infrastructure.

Many investment opportunities for infrastructure development have now arisen in the liberalized global market. How, then, do market players identify suitable opportunities and good timing for investment? The issue matters more given infrastructure investment requires a huge amount of running capital and a long cycle for construction and profit return. Moreover, stakeholders are vulnerable to many unforeseen risks in the process. To ensure the investment is carried out successfully, investors need to establish an effective set of mechanisms to measure, prevent and address risks.

The fast growth of China’s international project contracting has evidently increased the export of China-made machinery. In the context of increasingly opened-up global infrastructure market, how do Chinese contractors join hands with engineering equipment manufacturers to tap the international market? How to create win-win models in line with their strength in overseas business? How to select the types of engineering equipment and conduct site management? How do equipment manufacturers enhance their ability in providing service overseas? What are the classic cases worth studying and are though-provoking in the close cross-sector cooperation?
