IGC Invest Geothermal – Finance & Investment Forum, Frankfurt/ Germany – 7 Nov 2017

Alexander Richter 19 Sep 2017

For years, ThinkGeoEnergy has covered financial topics related to geothermal energy development and the idea to bring the financial sector and geothermal companies together in a Finance & Investment Forum has been on the drawing board for a long time.

ThinkGeoEnergy and Enerchange invite to the first global geothermal investment forum in Frankfurt/ Main in Germany. Held in the center of Europe’s financial sector, the event will be focusing on important elements of investing in geothermal energy development, such as risk mitigation, early stage financing, market incentives, blended financing options, multi-player projects and exit strategies.

• Date: 7 November 2017
• Location: Frankfurt am Main/ Germany
• Venue: Mövenpick Hotel Frankfurt City
• Event website: www.investgeothermal.com
• Early bird registration: available until September 22, 2017

With an increasing interest in development in growth markets, such as Turkey, Indonesia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and others, development continues to face the challenge of attracting adequate funding for projects particularly in the early stages of development. While multilateral programs and development banks are helping development in early stages, there is still insufficient equity funding available to move geothermal projects forward.

The IGC Invest Geothermal event aims to create an annual forum and platform for geothermal industry geothermal industry (GI) leaders and international investors, including private equity, infrastructure, debt, institutional investors and public equity funds, as well as public funding partners such as development banks, funds and institutions. It further is set up to help increase awareness among investors and the geothermal energy industry to educate about opportunities and challenges of investments in energy infrastructure development globally.

Key partners of the event are Rödl & Partner, the World Bank and the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC).
