About the Event
The Asia-Singapore Infrastructure Roundtable is the premier platform for dialogue between government leaders, policy makers, investors and infrastructure companies on Asian infrastructure projects.
This is the sixth run and since its inauguration, it has attracted more than 800 industry practitioners, with over US $6 billion worth of projects discussed.
This year’s discussion will focus on project initialisation and development – how to get more projects to market. Gathering senior executives from multilaterals, developers and financiers, the event will explore from different stakeholders’ perspectives how collectively innovation can be harnessed to meet Asia’s infrastructure needs.

What are funds and financiers major concerns for entering the infrastructure sector? Is there room for innovation to shape the future of infrastructure financing? How can governments better support in order to get more projects off the ground? Speakers
Developing PPP projects in Asia The ADB estimates that the total infrastructure investment needs of Asia is about US$8 trillion between 2010 and 2020. This infrastructure gap cannot be delivered by public sector finances alone, thus private sector participation in the form of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) is increasingly important. This session will provide an insight on PPPs in the region - how they are structured and the project opportunities - leveraging the experiences of the ADB's Office of Public-Private Partnership (OPPP), the Asia Infrastructure Centre of Excellence (AICOE) and Surbana Jurong.
