Overview
Across the globe, project finance drives progress, allowing engineers to build infrastructure such as transportation, energy, chemicals, and mining. This increasingly critical, financial technique relies on nonrecourse, risk-mitigated cash flows of a specific project, not the balance sheet or corporate guarantee of a sponsor, to support the funding, using a broad-based set of inter-disciplinary skills.
This course in Project Finance aims to provide individuals with an overall view of Project Finance and the main mechanisms of how to provide for financial structuring of the project. The trainer of this course is an expert in Public Private Partnerships and concession projects, working with major financial consultancy firms, with over 20 years of experience in developing projects under project finance methodology.
