Mobilizing new Asian capital for infrastructure
Infrastructure Investor Japan Korea Week is an exclusive gathering for Infrastructure Investor Network members, bringing together two of North Asia’s most influential infrastructure forums – Tokyo and Seoul – across one high-impact week.
From Seoul to Tokyo, the week connects the region’s leading institutional investors, fund managers and strategic partners for unparalleled networking, on-the-ground market intelligence and deal-focused conversations. Expect senior-level insights, curated meetings and a front-row seat to the capital flows shaping infrastructure investment across Japan, Korea and the wider region.
