The InfraPitch highlights the application of key concepts such as bankability, sustainability, and financial structuring, offering a platform to demonstrate both individual growth and collective achievement.

The InfraPitch Q&A session will offer both attendees and the jury an opportunity to engage directly with the presenting groups, delving into the challenges, opportunities, and strategic approaches embedded in their infrastructure project pitches.
