“Today, the importance of forward-looking infrastructure has never been clearer. Through the competition, I examined how the financial architecture of sustainable infrastructure can be developed to deliver lasting value. It was a strong reminder that in 2025, the most resilient and rewarding green investments will be those that align profitability with purpose. I hope the competition and those affiliated with the Institute for Climate & Sustainable Growth continue to inspire future participants to explore innovative pathways toward sustainability—one of the defining challenges of our time.”
