Key Topics for discussion 

• •What challenges is the infrastructure sector currently facing and likely to face as markets prepare for rising inflation, interest rates and potentially slower growth?
• M&A activity has been slightly lower out of the pandemic, but the expectation is for activity to rise significantly as companies seek new markets and lowering unit costs. How will this affect the sector and where is this activity most likely to occur?
• How do we balance the need for financial performance with the increasing demands for increasingly high standards for sustainability, quality management and growth?  
• Innovative infrastructure and technologies will increasingly be required to hit net zero how do we best achieve financing and funding for such projects?
