Sadek Wahba, our Chairman and Managing Partner, was in #Singapore last week, where he participated in two separate conferences. The Infrastructure Asia Forum (AIF) and the inaugural Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) Clean Economy Investor Forum.  These are two incredibly important forums for I Squared, they shine a light on and encourage investment in the #infrastructure needs of the #Asian #Pacific region while bringing together the key voices in US and Asia investing.    The AIF is Infrastructure Asia’s flagship event, co-organised (impeccably, as always) with Enterprise Singapore, Ministry of Finance (Singapore) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Sadek participated in a panel on #sustainable #financing alongside H.E. Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh Sylvi J. Gani, Luca Tonello and ably moderated by Isabel Chatterton. Later in the same week, the IPEF Clean Economy Investor Forum convened a diverse set of stakeholders from across the United States and the Indo-Pacific region to gain market insights, make industry and government contacts, solidify business strategies, and identify funding opportunities.  Sadek again participated in a conversation on "Developing Clean Energy Opportuniteis and Supply Chains in the IPEF Region" alongside Don Farrell, Minsiter for Trade and Tourism, Australia, Richard Folsom, Co-Founder and representative Partner, Advantage Partners, and Dato Dr Amin Abdullah, CFA, Minister for Finance and Economy, Brunei. As a reminder, I Squared Capital is committing $1.5 billion towards energy transition, climate investment, and digital inclusion projects in IPEF emerging economies, including green data centers in Indonesia, a renewables platform in the #Philippines, as well as advanced smart meters and hybrid renewables in #India. This investment includes up to $650 million of equity capital from the #Climate #Fund that I Squared announced last year with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation. For more information on IPEF and its importance to US stability and security, watch this conversation between Sadek and Secretary Gina Raimondo from an event last year at the Wilson center: https://lnkd.in/eK8UrDKN Commenting on the events last week, Sadek Wahba, Chairman & Managing Partner, I Squared Capital, said: "Public-private partnerships are critical vehicles for private capital to support necessary infrastructure projects and seek to protect developing economies from the impact of climate change. I Squared would like to thank the Singaporean business community for hosting the IPEF event this week and we look forward to deepening our partnership with all the key players in the region through more thoughtful and productive meetings like the ones we have just completed.”
