InfraChallenge 2021 invited ideas for building and maintaining better, more resilient infrastructure. Discover who made the Top 20.

The G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBGs) met yesterday and issued a Communiqué outlining their collective commitments and priorities. The Communiqué cites several GI Hub tools that will help G20 countries and others harness the transformative potential of infrastructure and attract private investment in infrastructure.

This week the Global Infrastructure Hub in partnership with Infrastructure Australia hosted the first meeting of our international forum of infrastructure bodies. The forum is a small group dedicated to sharing best practice amongst organisations in G20 and other countries that undertake independent, long-term infrastructure planning in their jurisdictions. The purpose of the forum is to create a platform where I-Bodies from across the world can meet and exchange ideas, experiences and learnings.

Last week Maud de Vautibault, Director of Practical Tools and Knowledge at the Global Infrastructure Hub participated in a roundtable discussion with the World Association of PPP Units and Professionals (WAPPP)

Global Infrastructure Hub recently hosted a presentation and panel discussion of Connectivity across Borders, our latest reference guide, which presents global practices for the successful delivery of infrastructure that crosses national borders.

Last month Infrastructure Australia released its infrastructure Priority List for 2021, revealing a record number of new investment opportunities, with 44 new proposals added to the list in response to COVID- 19. A $59 billion project pipeline was identified, with six high priority projects, 17 priority projects, 48 high project initiatives and 109 priority initiatives.

A recent webinar co-hosted by Jacobs and the Global Infrastructure Hub focused on turning inclusivity frameworks into practical results in infrastructure planning and delivery.

Cross-border infrastructure is essential for connectivity. The GI Hub has created a reference guide that presents key learnings and global practices for successful cross-border projects, drawing from a comprehensive literature review, analysis of case studies and the input of international experts in cross-border projects.

The future of infrastructure mega-projects was explored recently by an international panel of experts in a webinar co-hosted by the Columbia University School of Professional Studies and Global Infrastructure Hub. The event took place as the global community begins looking towards a period of post-pandemic recovery and what the future of infrastructure may look like.

InfraChallenge is looking for practical and scalable tech-based ideas for building and maintaining better, more resilient infrastructure.
