• Generating investor confidence in infrastructure projects
• What part will consolidation and divesting assets play for future investment?
• Are PPA’s in USD helping to attract more financing sources?
• What are the potential alternative financing sources (on top of the typical development banks such as BNDES, BNB)?
• The key to structuring infrastructure financing in a way which considers all risks more completely?
• Infrastructure privatisations – what is the view of the debt funds and what is the role of the banks? Will the government allow US $ financing of these projects?
• Will development banks continue to dominate financing structures, or will there be more involvement from the capital markets going forward?
• Does the growth of the issuances of Debênture de Infraestrutura raise a question if there will be enough investor's demand to fund large infrastructure projects in industries other than energy as new concessions' auctions and Public-Private Partnerships are deployed (e.g. airports, sanitation, ports etc.)?

• An overview of the new technologies in the energy distribution segment such as electric mobility, demand response, smart meters and smart cities
• How can these new technologies work towards solving the issues of air pollution in mega cities?
• The growth of distributed solar generation and its impact on distribution companies and on demand for new utility scale plants in the future
• As DG grows exponentially how can distribution companies adapt as their traditional business model becomes obsolete?

• How does the wave of privatisation offer opportunity to investors, what are the risk profiles on taking on such an investment?  

• Brazilian infrastructure is missing US$1.2 trillion in investments. One reason is that investors find it difficult to calculate their total cost of capital covering such important risks as political, regulatory, governance, social, O&M, environmental, legal, cyber and host of others. These risks make up roughly half of the cost of capital of most infra projects. In this presentation, we indicate a way of calculating these risks in basis points and how to use these data to mitigate total infrastructure risk.

• Innovations in the wind and solar market
• Hybrid solar and wind plants a future possibility? What are the benefits?
• Financing and investment possibilities, current structures and vehicles to access
• An overview of climate bonds initiatives to foster Green Bond issuances and certification for infrastructure projects in Brazil

• An overview of divestments in the Brazilian Gas Market and the opportunity it presents for Brazil's hydrocarbon sector as the world transitions to a lower carbon energy mix 
• Alongside the significant upstream opportunities opening up in Brazil the Petrobras divestment plan presents mature assets. Where are the opportunities here?
