SIDSSA21 PIPELINE SERIES

In preparation for the inaugural Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium of South Africa (SIDSSA) 2020, a market sounding exercise, in the form of pitching sessions, was held on 28 and 29 May 2020. The pitching sessions were aimed at giving project sponsors an audience from national and international funding institutions to present infrastructure projects that have been identified as potentially bankable.

SIDSSA21 had the same build up in the form of a 7-part ‘Pipeline Series’ which was aimed at achieving the following:

→ To increase the supply of projects towards bankability to achieve the objectives of SA’s Infrastructure Investment Plan;
