The objective of our panel discussion is to provide insights in replication and upscaling of Smart City solutions through external investment having in mind that in just a few weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a historical economic setback of which we still do not know the full impact.

The purpose of the panel discussion is to present financial and business models that are currently being implemented to (i) finance the implementation of Smart City and infrastructure projects, (ii) retrofit the existing building stock in Europe, (iii) finance renewable energy infrastructure and (iv) facilitate combined public-private sustainable investments.

Our panel discussion should achieve three goals: firstly, to clarify financing & business models, secondly, to collect critical feedback from participants on the feasibility and replicability of these models and thirdly, to discuss how investors are addressing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in the current pipeline of projects.
