February 25-27, 2015
Welcome to the Global Forum
At the Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum we bring the best project
opportunities (and owner/operators) together with the best global executives to make projects happen. The
world has an infrastructure gap - a big one - while there is a tremendous amount of investment money looking
for strong, bankable, economically viable projects.
The Forum is structured to bring your expertise and resources together with project opportunities. We do this
through a structure based on three pillars: (1)rapid project presentations; (2)pre-scheduled Private Meetings with
project developers and (3)highly interactive workshops with the best infrastructure experts in the world.
All the people you need to make projects happen - EPC firms, project owner/operators, technology and
equipment firms, investors, lenders and financial advisors - are at the Global Forum. Let’s get to work!

World in 2015
1. Freight transportation congestion is a global
problem that will worsen in 2015 and 2016 due to
imbalances in infrastructure investment.
2. Global economic outlook depends on emerging
market consumers replacing aging developed
economy consumers, which requires significant
infrastructure investment.
3. Some combination of transportation and water
infrastructure investment is required to realize
potential growth.
