The 8th Istanbul Public Private Partnership (PPP) Week, held from March 4th to 7th 2024, focused on greener PPPs for global growth. This theme provided FAST-Infra Group representatives, Francois Bergère (CEO) and Thierry Deau (Chairman), with the opportunity to reach out to a global, mostly public sector audience, and disseminate the FAST-Infra Label latest developments. Here’s a closer look at the highlights.

In August 2022, the FAST-Infra Group was born, the fruit of more than a year’s reflection with global stakeholders from the financial sector. The aim is to accelerate the financing of sustainable infrastructure worldwide.

In the realm of sustainable infrastructure financing, the FAST-Infra Label represents a substantial stride forward rather than a mere emblem. It signifies concrete positive sustainability performance in projects.

The FAST-Infra Platform aims to support all stakeholders in the origination, development, financing re-financing and deployment of sustainable infrastructure programs. It will address the needs of the sustainable infrastructure investors and lenders, and help project developers to find the right partners.
