We speak with ECA chiefs about the structural forces reshaping their mandates, portfolios, and risk frameworks. ECA leaders will examine the growing influence of geopolitics, defence priorities, and national industrial policy on export finance; the expansion of untied and hybrid structures; the implications of ongoing ECA reform; and how green and energy-transition commitments sit within a more security-driven environment. These discussions offer a clear view of how leaders are redesigning products, accelerating execution, and shaping strategy to meet rising global demand for energy transition, supply-chain resilience, and critical and strategic infrastructure.

Financing the Backbone of Global Industry & the Energy Transition

Metals and mining underpin every major industrial and energy system. As demand for copper, aluminium, steel inputs, battery metals and critical minerals accelerates, the sector faces a new set of pressures: volatile prices, geopolitical fragmentation, infrastructure constraints, complex ESG requirements and the need for long-term capital to bring new production online. This roundtable brings together mining houses, processors, commodity traders, EPCs, logistics operators, ECAs, DFIs, commercial lenders and government stakeholders to examine how export, project and development finance can support resilient and sustainable supply chains.
