Infrastructure finance

For Infrastructure Project Financing service, the Mazars team, a hub for Southern Europe, combines global expertise with deep local industry knowledge.

Project management: how to lay the foundations for a successful project

Our Energy, Infrastructure & Environment team, based in Milan but which acts as a hub for the Southern Europe area, relies on an integrated group of over 110 professionals who, through Infrastructure Project Financing services, combines financial and technical skills globally, with a deep knowledge of the local industry.
The development of new infrastructure projects, together with the energy transition to sustainable economies, is attracting an increasing volume of capital, both public and private. Infrastructure, in fact, plays a role of primary importance for society and for all the companies that are part of it and, for this, represent an increasingly complex and articulated sector. As a result, key market players, such as investment funds, banks and public bodies, need ad hoc and state-of-the-art tools for risk management, maximising returns and increasing the value of their projects.
