Management

called “sm@rtcities”: e.g. Shanghai, Singapore,
Tokyo, Berlin and Venice).

International Project Finance
(Bocconi code 30179)
Bocconi Faculty:
Emanuele Borgonovo
How do firms finance new e-projects? How do
they arrange financing for infrastructures which
are critical for the life of a country and the utilization of natural resources? Project Finance is
the common language spoken by financing institutions and the industry when dealing with the
financing of new investment projects. It is an interdisciplinary subject that brings together Finance, Accounting, Law, and Risk Analysis. This
course will provide students with a broad introduction to this fascinating and timely subject. In
the first part, we will assess the principles of
project financing and of structured finance
transactions, analyzing the different contracts
involved and their implications for sponsors and
lenders. In the second part, we will address the
methods utilized in professional practice to evaluate the profitability of industrial investments.
We will conclude the course with an overview of
project risks analysis in its various aspects – e.g.
Market Risk Analysis, Credit Risk Analysis,
Technology Risks etc. The course material and
discussions will have an application-oriented
approach and will be supported by the analysis
of industry case studies in several sectors, from
energy to transportation.
