Inaugural Workshop: “The Awakening of the Force – how infrastructure can be a major lever to achieve the required transitions”
Live webinar with Q&A | March 18, 2026 | 2:00– 4:00 PM CET
Infrastructure is no longer a neutral backdrop—it has become a strategic force shaping Europe’s economic resilience, geopolitical influence, and systemic transitions.
In this context, InfraVision Think Tank For Sustainable Infrastructure , supported by Altermind and sponsored by Vauban Infrastructure Partners, will explore this year how to convert infrastructure into real power — through strong governance, sustained coordination, and difficult trade-offs in an increasingly complex environment where environmental, social, and digital transitions are advancing simultaneously.
This online workshop will launch our annual research program and set the stage for successive events. It will be moderated by Laurie Mahon Former Vice Chair, CIBC Capital Markets and will feature a full agenda of public figures and leading experts, including:
???? Keynote by Mika Aaltola – Finnish political scientist and Member of the European Parliament
???? Masterclass – “Infrastructure in transitions : designing for systemic change” by Hazal Deniz Kaya, PhD – Researcher at Delft University of Technology
???? Fireside chat – “Infrastructure, competitiveness, and influence in complex environments” with Roland Kupers – Senior Research Fellow, Universiteit van Amsterdam, and Anna Creti – Professor at Université Paris Dauphine- PSL; Director of the Climate Economics Chair and the Economics of Gas Chair.Infravision Think Tank
