Research on infrastructure finance presented at EBS

The results of an EIBURS research project on “The history of European infrastructure finance” (with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany) were presented by the EIB mentor, Hugh Goldsmith, at a conference organised on 11 December by the Foundation Project Capital Markets Union and European Business School (EBS) Universität.

The conference focused on the growing importance of project financing in today’s economic upheaval, tackling questions such as the history of project finance and its current developments and trends or how vital is project finance for a green, sustainable reconstruction of the economy and society.
