PRESS RELEASE
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:
- A senior representative of ING Germany
“The New Economic Reality: Was Trump ‘Right’ After All?” - A senior representative of Nippon Life Insurance
“Japan Meets Europe: People & Planet – Driving Insurance, Investment & Innovation for Sustainable, Resilient Infrastructure”
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:
- Europe’s “Big Build-Out”: Energy Transition, Grids & Regulatory Hurdles
- Infrastructure Amid Geopolitical Tension
- Private Credit vs. Private Equity – What Is Driving the Divergence?
- Sovereign Co-Investments & Club Deals
- Evergreen Funds & Secondary Liquidity
- Insurance Capital’s Expansion
- Infrastructure 2.0: Value Creation in a Higher-Cost World
- Digital Infrastructure Platforms: Data Centres, Fibre & Edge
- Renewables & Storage 3.0
- Deep Decarbonisation & Green Hydrogen
- The AI Economy & North American Infrastructure
- Germany’s Infrastructure Push
- Emerging Markets Deployment Strategies
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.
