Background In June 2023, COLC hosted the inaugural UK/India Sustainable Infrastructure Summit, as part of a strategic three-year program aimed at facilitating knowledge exchange, investment, and partnership opportunities to address the critical infrastructure funding gap in high growth economies across the globe. The inaugural summit focused on India, convening nearly 200 leaders in finance, professional services, regulators, and policy makers. Building on this momentum, the 2024 summit will turn its focus to Saudi Arabia, a country at the heart of economic transformation and sustainable development through its economic diversification plan, Vision 2030. The Summit will also build on previous SBJBC Forums at Mansion House on Sustainable Investment (2021), Renewable Energy (2022) and Business, Trade & Partnership (2023) 2024 Summit Information The summit will convene around 200-250 high-level participants, including policymakers, industry leaders, and financial professionals from the UK and Saudi Arabia, alongside international attendees.
