Jaroslava Korpanec coverage in Infralogic: Geopolitics fuels Actis’s CEE infra push

In Infralogic, Jaroslava Korpanec, Managing Director and Head of CEE, Infrastructure at Actis, discusses why geopolitical disruption has in her view reinforced, rather than diminished, the strategic rationale for infrastructure investment in Central and Eastern Europe – particularly to provide energy security and critical infrastructure modernisation. She notes that, for disciplined investors with local presence, market knowledge and strong stakeholder relationships, the region presents a significant opportunity and highlights how structural underinvestment across CEE, combined with the need to drive decarbonisation and support independent energy supply, is creating opportunities across energy infrastructure, including generation but also power grids, storage and flexibility.

Jaroslava also outlines how Actis is building on its existing presence in the region through platforms including Rezolv Energy and Connectis Tower, while seeking to replicate its broader global investment strategy across both energy and digital infrastructure.

Jaroslava Korpanec, Managing Director and Head of CEE, Infrastructure at Actis, commented:

“Geopolitics has increased the scrutiny in the CEE region but has also reinforced the strategic rational for investment.”

“For disciplined investors with a local presence, knowledge of the local market and developed stakeholder relationships, we believe the CEE presents an opportunity rather than a deterrence.”

“The CEE region has historically been under invested and the need to drive decarbonisation as well as to invest in independent energy supply is absolutely crucial.”
