O7IM 2025A - International Project Finance & the Ecological Transition
"International project finance & the ecological transition" course is covering all aspects of international project finance, with a strong focus on ecological transition, including in emerging countries.
The course is divided into sections that cover the main theoretical aspects of project financing as:
- risk analysis and mitigation strategies
- environmental and social impact analysis

In addition, students will get the opportunity to work on real cases to build up skills by doing. Each case is a first-time approach, using innovative structures and financial design:
- from coal to gas for power production
- from gas to renewable energy production

In addition, recognized professionals will speak during the semester to share their experience and present concrete cases. For example, Mr. Stéphane Charbit, Managing Partner at Rothschild & Co in charge of Sovereign Advisory, will discuss the challenges of financing infrastructures in emerging countries; Mr. Philippe Detours, Managing Partner at Demeter, will present an infrastructure project from the point of view of an equity investor.
