It is an international conference that joins professionals from the port infrastructure sector, in which FCC participated by setting up a stand and giving a talk on the Port of Acu. The talk was presented by Antonio Piqueras, Acu project manager, and Francisco Esteban Lefler, Director of Innovation and Technology at FCC Construcción.

The aim of Infraportos is to facilitate communication between ports, terminals and port operators with manufacturers of equipment and technology at a time when the port infrastructure sector is experiencing a notable economic increase, driven by the need to boost productivity, efficiency and competitiveness of the country's ports.

FCC Construcción, solidly positioned in the region with large-scale projects such as the Port of Acu in Brazil or the Port of Callao in Peru, has boosted this major event aimed at developing the port sector by sharing experience in an area where FCC is considered as one of the leading companies.

With a significant announcement for national infrastructure and development, the Federal Government promised an investment boom in the port sector. It announced investments of R$ 54.2 billion (€ 16.6 billion) until 2017, and according to the document from the Special Secretariat of Ports, the new investments will be used for leases and private-use terminals (TUP), with R$ 31 billion (€ 9.5 billion) staggered between 2014 and 2015 and R$ 23.2 billion (€ 7.2 billion) between 2016 and 2017.
