Abstract
Well-designed Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) can provide efficient solution to address the challenges in delivering and managing public services and infrastructure. While various opportunities drive the success of PPP contracts, there are also risk factors that can compromise projects. Both private investors and public entities must understand these opportunities and risks before taking concrete actions to pursue a PPP.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and industry experts assembled by The Knowledge Group as they bring the audience to a road beyond the basics of Public-Private Partnerships. The speakers will provide insights into the drivers of successful PPP contracts, the risk factors associated with such agreements and the need for systematic revision of legal and policy paradigms to address resources, risks and decision-making. They will also offer best practices in negotiating PPPs and procuring successful PPP initiatives.
In a LIVE Webcast, the speakers will discuss:
- The Merits and Risks of PPP
- Evaluating the Feasibility of a PPP Project
- Selecting and Negotiating with Prospective Partners
- PPP Under the Trump Administration
- Regulatory Forecast and Industry Trends
