Sustainable energy infrastructure, tunnel construction, special machinery, environmental technology and planning services are particularly in demand. Attractive target markets include Europe, the Middle East, Asia and, increasingly, Africa. However, major infrastructure projects require international experience, local partnerships and a deep understanding of the regulatory framework.
