Detroit

Banyan hosted an exclusive symposium and networking reception during IEDC 2025 Annual Conference in Detroit on September 18, 2025.

Retooling and Standardizing Financial Products for the post OBBB Era

Building on the discussions and insights from the Milken Community and Climate Capital Mobilization Convening (and at the same location), we invite you to join our symposium where we will focus on developing clear guidelines and strategies for deploying capital into sustainable infrastructure projects, both in the short and long term.

​This isn't just another conference; we'll be sharing market data and facilitating a hands-on working session where we'll work together to:

  • ​Identify market gaps and opportunities left by OBBB.

  • ​Determine baselines and benchmarks for where impact capital can make the most difference

  • ​Learn from industry experts about challenges, solutions, and real-world case studies for building a more sustainable future.

  • ​Begin designs of pathways to secondary markets and crowd in more private capital for the longer-term financial sustainability of local lenders
