Infrastructure –
For a sustainable society
Everyone is talking about digitalization – you are driving it forward. After all, the digital infrastructure is the basis for a networked society. Benefit from our many years of experience in financing fiber optic expansion as well as data centers and towers in Germany and abroad. Whether it’s core or core+ infrastructure projects, or the next megatrend – we are at your side as a strong partner.
The business of infrastructure financing and renewable energy projects has grown steadily. Jens Thiele, Head of Project Finance & Corporates, talks about his business model and where he sees potential in the future.
Well networked for your digital project
Infrastructure investments have been a particularly promising asset class for years. But it is also one that requires a particularly high level of knowledge not only on the part of investors, but also on the part of banks. Regulations and special features of individual submarkets have a significant influence on valuation and structures. With us, you know you have a strong partner at your side who can make a significant contribution to the success of your project. We are therefore well networked in the industry and can also offer you the right financing concept for comprehensive projects.
We are currently successfully involved in the expansion of broadband networks and the financing of data centers and towers in numerous transactions across Europe. Our experts know the industry trends and are happy to work with you to design projects that make an essential contribution to Europe’s competitiveness.
Our focus
We focus on private credit markets and work bilaterally with companies or in bank clubs. We also participate in transactions, often in the primary market, which are arranged by other credit institutions. In addition, we offer a range of products (funded/unfunded), including bridge financing, loans, guarantees, investment and acquisition financing and other specialised solutions.
We arrange and participate in financing transactions where financing tranches are senior and equal in priority. These financings are often collateralized.
We arrange syndicated financing or participate in syndicated loans from other banks.
We have been supporting all forms of simple or structured import business for decades.
We also offer customised financing solutions with an entrepreneurial perspective. These include receivables financing and structured loans.
Building a sustainable society
The future viability and competitiveness of the European economic area also depends on the success of our customers. Because data-driven business models, the Internet of Things and “Industry 4.0” require one thing above all: a functioning digital infrastructure.
