CNBC's Executive Vision Turns to Infrastructure on October 25th

More than a simple network of roads and rails, infrastructure is a crucial building block of capitalism. Its ingredients – energy, metals, materials – are all traded on the stock exchange, and these trades have far-reaching impact.

Governments are just now realizing that there is money to be made from trading infrastructure, making this one of the hottest markets around.

In this episode, CNBC takes a look at how to trade infrastructure for profit while avoiding the potential pitfalls. In addition the show examines new cities and how they’re mushrooming around meccas of technology, instead of around commercial centers as we’ve seen in the past. Simon Hobbs and his guests will consider how public and private partnerships are laying new networks of roads and rails to service our new capitals of commerce.

Finally the show considers how leaders can navigate and negotiate their way through uncharted territory and how they can ensure sustainability in our ever-changing society.

Guests include: Daryl Dulaney, Siemens Industry President & CEO; Eva Lerner-Lam, Palisades China Group President and CEO; Chris Luebkeman, Arup Director, Global Foresight and Innovation; Vahid Ownjazayeri, The Shaw Group Vice President, Environmental & Infrastructure; Michael Valocchi, IBM Vice President, Global Business Services; Jay H. Walder, Metropolitan Transportation Authority Chairman & CEO; and Barbara Weber, B CAPITAL PARTNERS Founding Partner.
