“In the context of the actual restrictions to travel and meetings, the GRI eCoffee has come as an excellent alternative to keep in touch and expand ideas and network between market players in the infrastructure sector, developing the full potential of videoconferences and GRI Members Club”

"The COVID pandemic has affected us in many ways including, of course, the way we do business. In this context, the GRI web-based discussions played a key role in keeping us on top of the infra themes, opportunities, challenges, etc. However, another important role of the presencial events was still unaddressed and GRI eCoffee came as a great alternative. I'm glad to have joined this initiative in which I met new executives of the infra sector and re-met old colleagues. Thanks GRI for the effort."
