Project Finance Roadshow Frankfurt
Speakers
Bird & Bird’s Project Finance Roadshow is back in Frankfurt and this time, we are focusing on the exciting opportunities and challenges of investing in, building and operating Data Centers and Battery Energy Storage Systems.
New avenues for both debt and equity investments bring a unique set of practical and legal challenges and regulatory complexities that investors must navigate to ensure sustainable returns and minimise risk.
Therefore, we will dive into:
- Investment Opportunities & Risks: Understand the potential returns and pitfalls in funding Data Centers and Energy Storage Systems.
- Legal Challenges: Explore the latest developments in the regulatory landscape and how they impact the financing of these sectors.
- Market Trends: Stay ahead of evolving trends driving investment and financing strategies in this rapidly changing environment.
- Practical Challenges: From grid connection to waste heat and more.
Join us for this invaluable chance to network with industry leaders, gain up-to-date legal insights, and engage in key discussions shaping the future of infrastructure investments with drinks and finger food to keep the conversation going.
Participation in the event is free of charge. Please feel free to forward the invitation to your colleagues.
