Internal researchers from the Department of Studies, Research and Development at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI), United Arab Emirates are developing the InfraTech solution with the aim to increase road safety by considering driver behaviour through the development of a new mobile application
The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI), United Arab Emirates developed the sustainability tools to help project teams track, document, and monitor data relating to sustainability during the project lifecycle and to improve decisionmaking
The cool pavement technology project supports the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI), United Arab Emirates Sustainability Strategy : Organising, planning, and guaranteeing the sustainability of the infrastructure, and the transport sector
Pavimenta2 automates the processes of documenting, measuring, and recording failures, speeding up data collection and delivering cost savings over traditional approaches – thereby alleviating qualified professionals, who are often in high demand, to focus on strategy and planning
By using technology originally developed for highway bridge inspection to carry out inspections of infrastructure such as railway tunnels and building façades, NEXCO is delivering objectivity and accuracy of records to better support the infrastructure owner’s data-driven decisio-making as well as address traffic restrictions, enhance safety, and significantly reduce the time required to collect data on-site
The Arab Roadmap roadmap aims to attract investment towards decarbonising the construction sector, with a view to achieve Paris Agreement goals by 2050. The Arab Roadmap acts as a blueprint for the Arab countries, supporting the initiation of each country’s national roadmap by addressing countries’ diverse conditions, including climatic, economic, demographic, energy emissions, and urbanisation patterns.
The Global BIM Network collaborates to co-develop and host an online, open-access knowledge base of resources from governments and organisations championing BIM in public sector construction and infrastructure projects.
The UK has developed a government-led program that works with academia and industry to support and promote increasingly sophisticated digitalisation, digital modelling, and information management and sharing, supporting the optimisation of the built environment across its lifecycle and ensuring this is done in a way that maintains safety, security, and resilience.
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) platform takes a holistic approach to financing support for the development and deployment of technology for infrastructure projects. This support is in the form of knowledge, networks, capital, innovation services and regulatory dialogue with members, investment leads, and clients.
Mastercard worked with Transport for London to complement TfL’s closed-loop Oyster system with open-loop EMV payment acceptance, which enables riders to use their own payment card or an enabled device that they already carry with them to pay for public transit. TfL was the first transport system to implement an open-loop EMV payment system.
COLPISTE is a combination of a soil stabilisation solution and a cold layer that makes it faster, more affordable, and more sustainable to construct reliable, all-weather roads in rural environments in developing countries
irisGO™ is an AI-enabled camera that facilitates smarter condition monitoring by automating data gathering and analysis of road assets and defects in real time, enabling faster and more secure maintenance for safer roads.
TRL is using satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to assess the condition of rural, unpaved roads more efficiently.
Durophalt and Durophalt-E are sustainable, durable, and cost-effective road maintenance solutions that replace traditional asphalt repair processes, reducing emissions and prolonging road lifespans.
EyeRADAR provides a game-changing solution for managing slop stability, enhancing safety, and reducing the risks associated with linear infrastructure projects.
Last week, the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) hosted a webinar on “Building Strong PPP Institution in Developing Countries”. This webinar followed a global review undertaken by PPIAF to better understand the drivers of success in public-private partnership (PPP) programs. This webinar focuses on the role of contract management in PPPs.
The PPIAF team recently participated in the annual #Infra4Dev Conference in Rabat, Morocco. Henri Blas, Ludovic Delplanque, and Luciana Guimaraes Drummond e Silva each engaged in panel sessions during this two-day event, sharing knowledge insights and resources on various topics, including the global infrastructure financing landscape, PPP project preparation, and integrating gender into PPPs.
60% of infrastructure assets reporting to GRESB in 2023 currently have a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target aligned to net zero. However, these net zero targets may not be ambitious enough. Only a third of assets have a target that is science-based or aligned to a net zero-targeting framework. Further, targets tend to capture only Scope 1 and 2 emissions (omitting Scope 3 emissions) and be location, rather than market-based. However, regional variances exist, with Europe leading the way in Scope 3 and market-based net zero targeting.

Non-private institutions, such as multilateral development banks, play a critical role in catalyzing private infrastructure investment in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). One avenue of support is through the direct co-financing of projects, with over half (55%) of total LMIC investment involving non-private co-financing in 2022. However, the share of LMIC investment financed by the private sector alone has been increasing over time. This has been driven by the renewables sector, reflecting increasing investor confidence in a maturing market as well as relatively smaller project sizes. In general, private sector investors are less likely to require co-financing support from non-private entities in larger LMIC markets, such as Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa.
The African Infrastructure Fellowship Program (AIFP) recently announced its 2024 cohort of fellows, which includes 18 participants from across the continent and brings together a diverse and talented group of individuals with backgrounds in engineering, finance, law, and more. This year saw over 200 applications for the program.
