Building Bridges IV: Bridging the Public-Private Divide through Pooled Investment Platforms

K&L Gates, SovereigNET, The Fletcher School’s Network for Sovereign Wealth and Global Capital, and the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds were pleased to host our fourth symposium on global infrastructure in October 2016.

The central theme of the symposium was “Bridging the Public-Private Divide through Pooled Investment Platforms.” The discussion focused on the design of innovative financing platforms to narrow the global infrastructure investment gap. Check out the conference agenda.

Gathering representatives from the World Bank and the institutional investor community together with policy makers, development banks, service providers, academics, and public sector partners, the symposium explored the role of investment fund structures – sovereign, multilateral and private – in mobilizing capital in scale to finance critical infrastructure needs in both developed and emerging economies. The symposium was organized into four discussion panels and several interactive lunch breakouts. All sessions featured speakers who are actively involved in sponsoring, funding, managing, and governing global infrastructure and strategic investment funds.
