Welcome to Asia 2024: Agency, Energy & Infrastructure Finance! 

Our interactive gameshow is back to test our industry leaders on their knowledge of the project & export finance markets. Powered by TXF Intelligence, we'll ask our contestants to think about:

• Asia's leading sectors in 2024
• Top performing countries across the year
• Global export and project finance volumes

We kick off Asia 2024 with a series of quickfire interviews with leading ECAs active across Asia. We consider:

• The latest initiatives and innovations coming from each organisation
• How does each institution respond to increasing calls for sustainability?
• What projects will we see coming to market over the next few years?

For this session, we put project sponsors and export finance borrowers centre stage, asking them:

• What projects are in the pipeline?
• What do project sponsors require from financing markets to get deals to the market? 
• How are project sponsors responding to Asia's pressing energy transition needs? 

Grab a coffee and swap business cards in our first networking break of the day!

Comprised of a whopping 8 tranches, Hai Long Offshore Wind was a landmark transaction in Asia last year. This session gathers dealmakers to consider:

• How the $3.27 billion project reached financial close
• How participants worked together to make the project work
• What's next for Hai Long?
• Best practice and lessons that can be learned from the transaction

If we're going to reach ambitious Net 0 goals, it's going to take more than wind and solar. This panel considers the role of hydrogen and other emerging technologies in meeting energy demands, and how we can work together to finance new projects

• How long will it be until hydrogen is a commercially viable asset? What will need to change to get us there? 
• How can we create more opportunities for energy storage? 
• How can biofuels and other emerging asset classes support Asia's energy transition? 
• How can we increase investor confidence in emerging technologies? Do ECAs and DFIs need to become more flexible when it comes to financing these assets?

Sit down with fellow dealmakers over lunch to suss out the latest opportunities in the region.

Private insurance remains a vital ingredient to many export and project finance transactions in Asia. This session gathers insurers and product users to consider why the private market is more important than ever before:

• What feedback do bank users have for insurers in Asia? 
• How have geopolitical changes affected the cost and availability of cover? Why is it still important to seek private insurance cover for projects in Asia? 
• Is there enough capacity in the market? 

This session investigates the growing pipeline for data centre projects across Asia, considering:

• What projects will we see coming to market over the next year? 
• How can we balance data centres' power requirements with the energy transition? 
• What capital sources are developers looking to? 
• How does the unpredictability of revenue for data centre projects affect financing? 

As the world strives to become more energy conscious and business forward, financing needs are changing. Over the last few years, we've seen ECAs broaden their mandates and offer more innovative, untied solutions for the changing world. This session looks to the future of financing, asking:

• Which ECAs are leading the way when it comes to untied lending? 
• We've seen commodity traders tap the ECA untied financing market, but what other borrowers are looking for innovative products? 
• How will ECAs and banks work together to shape the future of financing in Asia?

AI is taking the world by storm, but what impact will the technology have on the export and project finance markets? This interactive session invites you to consider:

• What efficiencies could AI bring to the market?
• What future applications could AI have in the market? 
• What considerations will businesses need to make when integrating AI into their work?

Given the urgency of the energy transition, the need for more renewables capacity in Asia is clear. But what does the future of the industry look like, and how can the export, project, and development finance worlds work together to bring financing where its needed?

• What does the pipeline for renewables look like in Asia, and what are the region's primary financing needs? 
• How can ECAs, DFIs, and investors collaborate to bring more projects to market? 
• Wind, solar, and geothermal are all big players in Asia's renewables market - what general trends are we seeing across these assets, and what should we expect to see moving forward? 
• Asia is seeing a spate of large renewables auctions, but lots of capacity is going to just a few key players - will this slow growth across the region?

Thank you for joining us for the first day of Asia 2024! 

Finish the day with our networking drinks reception, sponsored by PEI Global Partner
