Investors Eye “Greatest Investment Opportunities Since the Industrial Revolution” at IPE’s Infrastructure ‘Oscars’ 🏆🏆 The IPE Real Assets Infrastructure & Natural Capital Global Conference and Awards showcase held in Munich in mid-September, provided a sweeping ‘tour d’horizon’ of the latest developments in this enormous and rapidly expanding global investment market. The energy transition and the digitalisation of economies, with the vast investment in data centres needed to enable this transformation, are major drivers for seemingly insatiable infrastructure investment. “We haven’t seen this level of capex needs for infrastructure since the Industrial Revolution,” said Thomas van der Meij, Senior Portfolio Manager Infrastructure at APG, the manager for Dutch ABP, which with €600 billion in AUM is Europe’s largest pension fund.

We’re excited to continue introducing our newest Ambassador Council members. Meet Sid Rajgarhia! As part of the investment team at First Round Capital, Sid is responsible for their decision-making process and integrates behavioral science and data to drive high-quality investment decisions. Sid is passionate about Decision Education, saying, “There are few things we do as often and with as much consequence in our lives as making decisions—yet, we are not taught decision-making.

The ITE Public Agency Council will be hosting an open forum on April 25 from 3:00-4:30 p.m. ET. This is an opportunity to share experiences, questions, and to learn from one another, related to three topics: • Safe System Approach: How are agencies approaching infrastructure projects related to the Safe System Approach? Is there a balance of large vs. small/medium projects? Also, are agencies looking at policies and standards in addition to infrastructure projects? •  Workforce development/management: With limited funding and lots of work, how are agencies supporting their staff development and helping to foster interest in public careers? • Innovation in project development and delivery: What is everyone looking at from new materials, quick build options, etc. What is new and exciting that people want to share.
