Alvarez & Marsal

Two weeks ago CEOs Lab Vienna sparked dynamic discussions on the biggest challenges facing businesses today. A highlight was Quantic Financial Solutions' presentation revealing how rising energy prices could actually fuel long-term economic growth while reducing CO2 emissions. Key takeaways of this event included the adaptation of energy-intensive industries to the energy transition, the potential for new financial incentives from global tax reform to shift billions towards sustainable technologies, and the importance of rebuilding trust with Private Equity firms in Austria to unlock future growth. Alvarez & Marsal is well-positioned to support these transitions with tailored ESG strategies, integrating environmental risk assessments into investment strategies, aligning portfolios with ESG standards, and managing climate-related financial risks, leveraging our Partner Quantic Solutions Data of more than 40m entities globally to enhance our offerings. A huge thank you to all who participated! Share your thoughts on the energy transition in the comments below. #Leadership #CEOsLab #AMon

Despite the challenges exposed during the recent #COP29, the EU charges ahead with its ambitious renewable energy targets under the REPowerEU plan. Decentralized energy production through home solar panels and heat pumps is a crucial element, but the question of capital markets financing remains critical to its success. Over the past decade, the U.S. has heavily relied on solar securitization. In the more diverse European regulatory and consumer context, however, this one-size-fits-all solution has so far remained elusive. Recent capital markets fundings, such as the first public solar securitization in Germany, a structured financing of energy related receivables in France, and most recently the SRT of solar assets by an Estonian bank, point toward the need for more innovative solutions, tailored to the diverse needs of a growing number of European companies projects and businesses.
