GIIA gears up for busy week in Berlin

GIIA is pleased to be a Supporting Association for the Infrastructure Investor Global Summit taking place in Berlin from March 18th to 21st.

 GIIA will be welcoming up to 200 senior investors and guests to its Annual Reception, kindly hosted by Allianz Capital Partners. We look forward to seeing both new and familiar faces from across GIIA’s growing network over the course of the week in Berlin, and participating in two conference panels to provide a global outlook on the sector.

Already in 2019 GIIA has welcomed three new members, taking our global membership – which includes many of the world’s leading infrastructure investors and advisors - past seventy. The three new members include:

• Aviva Investors Global Services Ltd - part of Aviva Investors, an asset management company which has global assets under management of over £315 billion. In turn, Aviva Investors is part of the Aviva group, one of the largest insurance companies in the UK.
• Alvarez & Marsal - a leading independent global professional services firm that provides specialist M&A transaction diligence, business performance improvement, transaction tax, fund launch and turnaround management services.

Speaking on the decision to join GIIA, Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal, Jason Clatworthy said:

GIIA will also hold its Annual General Meeting in Berlin on 21st March where we will be reporting on our progress during 2018 and setting out plans for an expanded programme of activity in 2019.
