Powering infrastructure projects with data

THE world is facing two big shifts from this decade into the next. The first is the advent of technology and the digital revolution sweeping across industries and economies. The second is the push to build or renew existing infrastructure for catering to growing urbanisation and connectivity needs.

The confluence of these two trends is that more industries and governments need to consider changing consumer expectations and the impact of disruptive digital technologies when building new infrastructure.

On its part, the infrastructure sector needs to consider this rapidly evolving convergence into their plans and governments too need to accelerate their policy agenda to effectively support digitalisation in the sector.
