An interactive session on underwriting, innovation and renewable energy finance: the first Leasing Foundation event of 2026
As the push towards net zero gathers pace, lenders and brokers are seeing rapid growth in demand for renewable and sustainable asset finance. This interactive session will explore how the industry can respond, innovate and support businesses investing in new energy models.
Designed for teams working in brokers and lenders across the renewables finance space, the session will focus on real-world credit processes, emerging asset types and how to fund innovative business models. Attendees will hear from experienced practitioners who are already active in the market and positioned ahead of the curve.
The session will include a practical exercise, giving attendees the chance to work through a real deal, underwrite the opportunity and share ideas on how industry practices can keep improving.
This event is ideal for anyone looking to better understand sustainable asset lending and play a more active role in supporting energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
