With the Gulf States committing $1.5 trillion to the development of Infrastructure projects, continued effective project development and funding is crucial to successful execution and delivery of this ambition.

The conference is designed to look at driving infrastructure project developments forward through effective PPP frameworks and efficient financing strategies.

Erland Rendall, Head of Davis Langdon’s Abu Dhabi office, will be presenting at this conference on ‘Developing projects that are economically feasible to achieve value for money’. 

He will be focussing on:

• Addressing the key issues related to funding projects in a market with less liquidity
• Exploring the impact of pipeline and dealflow on value and attractiveness
• Focussing on non project financing and alternative funding structures
• Assessing the implications of demand versus availability based PPP’s on value
• Ensuring all financial options are explored to ensure financial evaluation of PPP projects
• Achieving standardisation and transparency in PPP procurement
• Obtaining best financial value through PPP procurement measures
• Facility Management – the operational component of the financial model
• Creating the most attractive environment for lenders and investors, sponsors and constructors within a PPP

Erland, in reviewing global case studies of what good (and bad) looks like in this market space, will draw out practical solutions that will enhance the appeal and viability of these programs.

Building on Davis Langdon's international knowledge and experience in this market, Erland will share clear, logical and well considered steps that can be implemented to enhance the attractiveness of Infrastructure PPP's and secure appropriate finance.
