As relations with the U.S. improve, there is an understandable level of excitement around prospects to invest in the next generation of Cuban infrastructure. Although we advise that the excitement should be tempered with a healthy dose of realism, the opportunity is real. Canadian, Spanish, and UK companies have paved the wave and are already in the market with long-standing investments and evidence that the regulatory framework can bear the weight of substantial inflows of capital.<\/p>\n

Opportunities are now coming online in the immediate term in real estate, tourism, transportation, ports and \u2013 the focus of this event \u2013 the energy sector. The development of renewables is a priority item for the Cuban Government and aggressive targets have been established. Biomass is a cornerstone of the policy, but there are also significant opportunities for investment in wind and solar. Elsewhere, we can expect substantial investment in gas infrastructure in the medium-term, and in vital upgrades and improvements to the grid.<\/p>\n
