Why it matters

The backbone every growing economy depends on

Infrastructure has moved from public works to strategic asset, and transportation from logistics to strategic advantage. The world faces a $15 trillion infrastructure gap by 2040: roads, ports, grids and data centres that still need to be built. For emerging markets, closing that gap decides whether factories can reach ports, crops can reach buyers and cities can keep growing.

Projects are now borderless. A highway in Africa might be designed by an American engineering firm, financed by a European bank, built by a Chinese contractor and equipped with tolling technology from South Korea. A single shipment can travel by truck, train, ship and drone. Whether you invest, build, operate or simply depend on these networks, we help you see the landscape clearly, identify the opportunities and manage the risks, from conception to completion.

FAQ

Common questions

Who builds infrastructure in emerging markets today?

Increasingly, new players. Through the Belt and Road Initiative, China operates as an infrastructure financier and builder in more than 140 countries. Turkish contractors build airports, bridges and hospitals across Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Gulf firms and capital export expertise globally, and India is a key player in its neighbouring countries. Your next regional project might be built by a Turkish contractor, financed by Chinese banks and use steel from India.

Why does transportation matter if I am not a logistics company?

Because almost every business depends on it. Retailers run delivery networks, manufacturers rely on just-in-time parts, agribusinesses and pharmaceutical companies depend on the cold chain, and energy companies need pipelines, ports and rail to reach market. If a port closes or a rail line floods, your revenue stops, even if you do not own a single truck or ship.

How do you help?

For infrastructure, we help clients navigate cross-border development from conception to completion: political risk for investors, labour laws for contractors and deal structuring for governments. For transportation, we map your dependencies and risks, help you navigate disruption from new technology, climate and geopolitics, and build resilience into your supply chain.
