During the opening speech, Werner Hoyer, President of the European Investment Bank (EIB), stressed that innovation, development and collaboration are the key to success in tackling the problems facing the world today. He added that the members of the D20-LTIC, in addition to their peers and partners, have the responsibility and a great opportunity to mobilize private financing and channel these resources to build sustainable societies.

For his part, the president of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), Giovanni Gorno Tempini, said that the global challenges that are to come are complex and must be addressed with cooperation at the international level, which allows creating environmentally friendly investments, reduce market fragmentation and promote investment in sustainable infrastructure.

The summit conference brought together for the first time the private sector (B20 Italy) and research centers (T20 Italy), who contributed to publish, together with the D20-LTIC, the joint statement where they commit to support the efforts of the G20 to promote actions policies that help reduce the current investment gap in sustainable and quality infrastructure, which contribute to a sustainable economic model for the future.
