Upcoming Project Opportunities in Latin America

After a challenging year for Latin America due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, municipal and industrial markets are opening up with significant opportunities in 2021 and beyond. This interactive virtual meeting will bring together key stakeholders from across the Latin American region, with high-level speakers from Mexico, Peru, Chile, Colombia and Argentina, to provide insights into some of the most significant water and wastewater investment initiatives in the region.

From PPP for desalination in Mexico and Chile and wastewater in Peru, to large EPC contracts funded by DFIs as part of the province of Buenos Aires five-year Infrastructure Plan, this meeting will shed light on emerging business opportunities and provides an excellent collaborative network of business contacts through the dynamic roundtables format.

Join our expert speakers to hear the answers to these questions and more:

What opportunities will be offered through Mexico’s and Peru’s PPP project pipeline in 2021 and beyond?
How does the increase in copper prices translate in water and wastewater spending?
Which Chilean mining projects are planning desalination plants and what are the latest trends in project procurement?
What are the investment priorities of the main DFIs financing water and wastewater projects in the region?
