In this third and final episode of InfraVision’s podcast series ‘The Awakening of the Force’, host Aude Kersulec (Economic Journalist & Moderator), explores the incentives needed to deliver sustainable infrastructure at the scale and pace these transitions require, with two guests who bring complementary operational perspectives to this conversation: Diego Marin (CEO of ACCIONA’s Concessions Business) and Emanuela Trentin (CEO of Veolia Italy)
The technologies largely exist, capital remains available, and governments and businesses have set ambitious targets. Yet across many sectors, delivery keeps falling behind what is needed. As the challenge shifts from identifying solutions to deploying them effectively, attention is turning to the conditions that make infrastructure projects possible in practice: how risks are shared between actors, how regulatory frameworks can offer enough certainty to unlock long-term investment while staying flexible, and what it takes to make commitments bankable amid uncertainty.
From the perspectives of the developers and operators, what incentives encourage not just individual projects, but the replication of solutions at scale?
