The country’s electrical, water, telecom, and transit systems are facing years of catch-up repair and maintenance needs—and not even a massive infusion of federal dollars can address all of them. Fortunately, a swarm of companies are specializing in cutting-edge methods of gathering and analyzing data to help assess the areas of greatest need, prioritize initiatives, and maximize government funding.
Those methods fall under the category of Infrastructure Asset Intelligence (IAI). Investors are demonstrating growing interest to partner with companies in the space as they leverage technology to provide accurate, accessible information on the location, specifications, status, and condition of existing infrastructure.
Key takeaways:
- Why the trillions going toward infrastructure revitalization likely aren't enough
- The need for better information and analysis on existing infrastructure
- An overview of the IAI landscape, including segments that will be in high demand in the years ahead
