The conference, whose theme is Concession model, an efficient tool to foster growth across Europe: how to build a level-playing field to attract private investors, will be held on 30 March 2015 from 1030 to 1630 at the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels.
 
ASECAP recently commissioned a study on the concession model; the study is now complete and ASECAP will present its main findings during the conference.
