UK-Saudi Sustainable Infrastructure Summit 2024

The City of London Corporation (COLC) in collaboration with The Saudi British Joint Business Council (SBJBC UK) are delighted to announce the UK-Saudi Arabia Sustainable Infrastructure Summit, which will take place on 24 June 2024 in the City of London.

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. The event will be recorded for on demand watching. It will be a full-day, in-person event featuring keynotes, panels, and networking opportunities, focusing on sustainable infrastructure opportunities in Saudi Arabia and the UK and how UK and Saudi firms can play a pivotal role.

The overarching theme is sustainable infrastructure which will allow for a wide range of topics to be discussed throughout the day. We expect topics to include the below:

1. Financing Sustainable Infrastructure: Bridging the investment gap, and the role of public private partnerships and innovative financing models.
2. Green Technology and Renewable Energy Initiatives: Scaling green technologies and financing green initiatives.
3. Urbanisation and Sustainable City Development: Infrastructure for urbanisation and smart urban planning.
