The Canadian Government established a national infrastructure bank to help attract private sector investors and institutional investmet in infrastructure projects in Canada that will generate revenue and are in the public interest.

The Pensions Infrastructure Platform was developed to facilitate long-term investment in UK infrastructure by pension schemes. It was established by UK pension schemes to operate and invest for pension schemes. It allows pension schemes of all sizes to invest in national infrastructure projects by pooling resources into a single investment fund.

Australia’s national government introduced policy to incentivise asset recycling / capital recycling by state-level governments, offering up to 15% of the sale or lease proceeds of asset privatisations for re-investment in infrastructure projects. Since 2014, the State of New South Wales has raised AUD32.7 billion through asset recycling.

European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) launched the Green Economy Transition (GET) approach in 2015 to accelerate investments that drive environmental benefits. Following the severe impact of the COVID-19 health emergency, a new GET 2.0 was proposed to contribute to a green economic recovery post-COVID-19.

The Improving Delivery Models database of globally proven solutions empowers project teams to avoid and resolve common infrastructure delivery challenges.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be integrated in all stages of infrastructure planning and design to transport users into virtual environments that reveal what designs could look like when constructed and how they would impact upon the existing environment.

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can be used to deploy training programs and assist workers in performing asset inspections and maintenance works.
