2026 saw deal closures on road projects across France and Portugal, with a significant pipeline in Belgium in procurement. This panel asks:

  • Of the significant Portuguese road pipeline, which projects are likely to come to fruition?

  • How can developers finance projects that are getting bigger year on year? What funding mix will be needed to support Europe’s road infrastructure?
