GID 2026 Confirms Keynotes, Expands Senior Programme and Strengthens Media Partnerships Under the Motto “Turning Capital into Execution”
Frankfurt / London – The Global Infrastructure Dialogue (GID) 2026 will take place on 29–30 June 2026 at the Sofitel Frankfurt Opera, bringing together senior decision-makers from across institutional investment, infrastructure funds, private credit, development banks and policymakers.
Under the 2026 motto, “Turning Capital into Execution,” GID responds to a market environment defined by higher financing costs, geopolitical complexity and increasing capital selectivity. The focus is clear: disciplined deployment, strategic value creation and execution capability across the capital stack.
Confirmed Keynotes
GID 2026 opens with two confirmed keynote addresses reflecting both macroeconomic and institutional perspectives:
These keynote sessions set the tone for two days of high-level discussion on capital allocation, macro risk, insurance capital and long-term infrastructure strategy.
The Most Comprehensive Programme to Date
GID 2026 features its most extensive programme so far, structured across macro themes, capital models, sector transformation and regional deployment.
Key discussion blocks include:
The programme reflects the structural shifts currently redefining infrastructure as an asset class — from risk discipline across debt and equity to hybrid capital solutions and new monetisation models.
(Full programme reference available).
Strengthened Media Presence
GID 2026 continues to expand its institutional visibility through confirmed and returning media partners, including:
Additional international media confirmations will be announced in the coming weeks.
A Curated Senior-Level Platform
GID remains a curated, senior-level forum held under Chatham House Rules. Participants include institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, infrastructure GPs, debt providers, developers and policymakers.
Rather than focusing on volume, GID prioritises high-quality dialogue, strategic exchange and execution-focused discussion in an environment designed for decision-makers.
Participation & Media Enquiries
GID 2026 will take place on 29–30 June 2026 at the Sofitel Frankfurt Opera.
With programme finalisation and private board dinner allocations underway, a limited number of partnership opportunities and official participant seats remain available.

GReD 2025 Concludes in Frankfurt With Powerful Insights on AI, Innovation, and the Future of Real Estate
Frankfurt, 11 November 2025 — The German Real Estate Dialogue (GReD) 2025 successfully concluded in Frankfurt, bringing together senior executives, institutional investors, developers, asset managers, financiers, and policymakers for strategic dialogue, market insights, and confidential exchange.
The morning opened with two thought-provoking keynote sessions:
by a Senior Economist at Deutsche Bank, posed the central macroeconomic challenge: “Germany in a Shifting World – Ready for a Restart?”
and a senior expert of urban developments who spoke about “Dark Yoga” — a visionary concept exploring hybrid urban structures, resilience, and adaptive use models.
These presentations laid the foundation for deep discussions throughout the day, touching on artificial intelligence, capital restructuring, urban transformation, and the future competitive position of Germany. Both keynote speakers emphasized a shared truth: Germany must remain adaptable, innovative, and open to international impulses to unlock tomorrow’s opportunities.
In private roundtables and curated 1:1 exchanges, participants debated whether Germany is ready to actively shape AI and technological transformation — or whether it will continue to respond to impulses from the US and other global markets. There was broad consensus: Germany must develop the courage to innovate and to learn from international trends — while building its own solutions.
Key Takeaways from GReD 2025:
“GReD is not a conference — it's a strategic dialogue and an innovative platform for senior decision makers,” said Florentina Freise, Managing Director of Dialogue Capital. “The question is no longer if change will happen, but whether the German real estate industry will lead this change — or simply observe it.”
GReD 2026 will return to Frankfurt, expanding its focus on AI-enabled asset transformation, cross-border capital flows, and resilient urban development.

GReD 2025 in Frankfurt – KI, Innovation und Zukunftsfähigkeit im Mittelpunkt
Frankfurt, 11. November 2025 — Der German Real Estate Dialogue (GReD) 2025 endete in Frankfurt mit einem hochkarätigen Austausch führender Vertreter aus Immobilieninvestments, Projektentwicklung, Asset Management, Finanzierung sowie Politik und Verwaltung. Senior Entscheider diskutierten über Transformation, Kapitalzugang, KI und die zukünftige Wettbewerbsfähigkeit Deutschlands als Immobilien- und Innovationsstandort.
Der Vormittag wurde geprägt von zwei eindrucksvollen Keynotes:
Einem Senior Economist bei der Deutschen Bank, stellte die zentrale Frage: „Germany in a Shifting World – Ready for a Restart?“
Einem senior Advisor und Developer, dieser präsentierte mit „Dark Yoga“ eine visionäre Perspektive für resiliente, hybride Stadt- und Nutzungskonzepte.
Diese Impulse lieferten die Basis für intensive Diskussionen über KI, Asset Repositioning, Technologie, internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sowie die Rolle Deutschlands zwischen Anpassung und Innovation.
Beide Keynotes betonten eine gemeinsame Erkenntnis: Deutschland muss innovativer, offener und internationaler agieren, um die Chancen von morgen zu nutzen.
In vertraulichen Roundtables und kuratierten 1:1-Gesprächen wurde intensiv diskutiert, ob Deutschland wirklich bereit ist, KI und neue Technologien aktiv mitzugestalten — oder ob man weiterhin auf Impulse aus den USA reagieren wird. Der Tenor war eindeutig: Jetzt ist der Moment, Mut zu zeigen, von internationalen Trends zu lernen und eigene Lösungen zu bauen.
Erkenntnisse von GReD 2025:
„GReD ist kein Kongress, sondern ein strategischer Dialog und eine innovative Platform für Entscheidungsträger“, erklärte Florentina Freise, Managing Director von Dialogue Capital. „Die Frage ist nicht, ob der Wandel kommt – sondern ob wir ihn nachhaltig mitgestalten oder nur beobachten.“
GReD 2026 wird erneut in Frankfurt stattfinden – mit erweitertem Fokus auf KI-getriebene Immobilienstrategien, internationalen Kapitaldialog und urbane Resilienz.

Press release by Tortoise
The United States is breaking records in its level of energy production and expectations are for even higher U.S. production for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids through 2022. Nearly all of this growth is coming from unconventional basins, or shales, as improvements in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing drive increased recoveries and efficiencies that enable profitable drilling. On the demand side, natural gas needs are growing from more coal to natural gas switching for power generation, increased industrial activity and higher exports from the U.S.
