IJGlobal prides itself on the peer-review nature of our awards, ensuring a transparent process that (we believe) makes them the most highly valued in the sector – submitted by the industry and reviewed by peers at the highest level.

With the Investor Awards, all categories – companies and transactions – are judged by the independent panel which we take pains to identify. To read about the team for these awards, click here. As always, judges are recused from voting on awards where they have an interest.

The awards recognise developments by infrastructure funds, investors and infra/energy M&A that made it over the line during the judging period that runs from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025.
