[Seminar] AI in Energy, Infrastructure & Project Finance 2026
22 June 2026
As AI adoption accelerates across the energy, infrastructure and project finance sector, the conversation is shifting from whether to use AI to how to use it responsibly. Led by Joshua Grimm from Forvis Mazars' APAC Energy & Infrastructure team, this seminar examines where AI genuinely adds value to financial modelling, where its limits still show up, and what teams should be doing today.
What is this seminar about?
Artificial intelligence has moved from speculation to a live operational question for deal teams. But for project finance, where a single modelling error can move a credit decision, the gap between what AI appears to do and what it reliably does matters enormously. This seminar, hosted by Forvis Mazars Vietnam together with the APAC Energy & Infrastructure team, looks at where AI adoption in the sector currently stands, the opportunities and risks it introduces to financial modelling, and what teams should be doing to adopt it responsibly.
