IAPORTS Virtual Investment Round kicks off

The IAPORTS Virtual Investment Round begins September 16th, ushering in a new era of global collaboration in port development. From September 16–18, 2025, participants will engage in strategic conversations designed to unlock capital for future-ready infrastructure and sustainability-driven projects. For the first time, this event will be broadcasted live by TV BENews.

Organized by the International Association of Port Development (IAPORTS), the event offers a neutral, transparent, and free platform for negotiations and strategic dialogues. Its goal is to close the information gap between global investors and port projects, allowing capital to flow more efficiently into future-ready infrastructures.

The event opens on September 16 with the Global Port Investment Opportunities Overview, featuring 22 live presentations from leading global players, such as New Development Bank (NDB), K-LINE Global, AD Ports, Ashdod Port, MKP Global, Portos do Paraná and DEME Group. Port authorities from Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and North America will present verified investment pipelines.

September 17 and 18 will host six matchmaking rounds, alternating between infrastructure and Net Zero projects. These one-on-one meetings are designed to foster strategic partnerships and accelerate implementation of high-impact initiatives.

Raquel Kibrit, Executive Director of IAPORTS, will deliver opening and closing remarks each day, reinforcing the event’s mission to close the information gap and democratize access to global capital.
