Infravenir is an association dedicated to young professionals in the infrastructure sector. Its ambition is to bring together a new generation of professionals from different practices bringing in a multitude of perspectives in building and developing tomorrow's infrastructure.

Deriving its name from the words Infrastructure and Avenir (which is the French word for future), the association extends its scope to include all types of economic and technical infrastructure that contribute in the day to day functioning of our society. Indeed, we believe that infrastructure is core in addressing the many challenges facing modern society, be it in energy, transport or telecommunications sectors.

Through our association, our objective is to bring together as many proactive young professionals as possible around the challenges of tomorrow.

We therefore encourage all young professionals who identify with our values and ambition to take part and join us!

The challenges facing infrastructure professionals are considerable. They go hand-in-hand with the society’s major challenges:

• How can we build a stable, sustainable environment in a period of technological revolutions?  
• How should we meet the challenge of climate change?
• How do we achieve carbon neutrality?
• What will tomorrow's energy mix look like? How should we meet the challenges of flexibility and decarbonization?
• How should we integrate new forms of carbon-free mobility?
• ​What is the best way to integrate demographic challenges into our thinking?
• Which public and private players will be central to addressing these immense needs?
• ​

The infrastructure of tomorrow is at the heart of many discussions today. Yet there is limited attention on the new generation of professionals who will design, develop, build and manage them. This is a challenge in its own right. We believe that as the infrastructure ecosystem evolves, the demand for quality expertise and high-caliber skills in the sector will continuously develop.

​What is the best way to integrate demographic challenges into our thinking?

Created at the end of 2018 in Paris, Infravenir is now recognized in several regions of France and the key metropolises of Europe.

We aim  to bring together as many proactive young professionals as possible around the challenges of tomorrow.

Our goal is to create an open and informal network of professionals in order to:

• Bring together the new generation of infrastructure professionals in a unified network 
• Enable a free exchange of views on the sector's various businesses, trends and best practices  
• Act as a lever for knowledge-sharing by soliciting analysis and feedback from experienced professionals  
• Give young professionals the opportunity to play a more active role in addressing the sector's many challenges and developments, and to contribute to the drafting of potential recommendations  
• Closely associate sectoral and societal issues in our discussions and reflections, and thus participate in building a sustainable and resilient society Represent the new generation capable of meeting tomorrow's challenges
  

Our organization is based on conferences and round tables, workshops and site visits:

• Conferences and round tables with industry experts
