Great ideas deserve great places to be shared. And what better place than a library?
Last week’s Sydney Edition of the Infrastructure Forum 2026 found the perfect setting at Instituto Cervantes Sydney Library, surrounded by the stories of Don Quijote. Don Quijote reminds us that meaningful progress begins with the courage to imagine a better future – but it is collaboration, experience and a firm understanding of reality that turn ambition into achievement.
Perhaps, one day, those shelves will hold another story – how Spanish expertise contributed to shape the transport, water and mobility systems Australia needs for the decade ahead. That spirit was at the heart of every conversation throughout the Forum.
We were privileged to hear from our keynote speakers – Adam Copp, Hugh Lawson PSM, Josh Murray, Nicholle Sparkes and Tim Parker – whose presentations set the stage for engaging and thought-provoking discussions throughout the day.
Our sincere appreciation also goes to our panellists and moderators –
Shahin Meyabadi, Adrián Uría García, Jose Maria Ortega Loizaga, Carlos Antonio Granados García, David Garcia Azaña, Rafael Fuldain, Daniel Valiente-Fernández – for generously sharing their expertise and helping to foster a rich exchange of ideas on the opportunities and challenges shaping Australia’s infrastructure future.
A special thank you to Belen Figuerola, Miriam Navarro Conca and her team, for their warm hospitality, generous support and for providing such a fitting venue for this event.
This Forum would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of the La Camara team. A heartfelt thank you to Rod, Alessandra, and Ariadna, whose commitment, enthusiasm and teamwork made this event a reality.
Finally, thank you to our President, Carmen Verdú Sánchez, and the rest of the Board.
Australia is entering a defining era for infrastructure. Delivering the projects that will transform the country’s future will require more than investment; it will demand collaboration between government and business, together with the exchange of ideas, experience and innovation.
We look forward to creating many more opportunities for dialogue and stronger partnerships between Australian and Spanish businesses.
