At Vulcan, we will push the boundaries with our industry thought leadership content and ideas, supported by detailed data trend analysis and insights, to challenge the status quo and make progress towards a more resilient nation.
We will analyze and present opinions on controversial topics without any political influences, preconceived notions or fear of restrictions on what we can say from our employer. Our conclusions will be fact-based and link back to the fundamental principles and original intent of the area of focus.
For example, we won’t be afraid to tackle the emerging issues that have the potential to disrupt our industry, such as; a) whether the rise of decentralized finance will have an impact on traditional infrastructure funding methods and financing models, or b) if natural resource shortages are caused by climate change or a severe lack of investment into infrastructure upgrades, or c) if the purchase of carbon offsets have been the preferred method to decarbonize a company, while making immaterial investments to mitigate the climate risks to physical assets and business operations.
We will pride ourselves on providing actionable ideas to solve complex problems within our industry, to define the future of infrastructure, to help asset owners position to embrace disruption and to bring big ideas for strategic infrastructure projects that will enhance the interconnectivity and value of our national infrastructure networks.
Our analysis will be focused on the following emerging themes:
Megatrends and the Future of Infrastructure – How infrastructure assets required in tomorrow’s world will be different due to digital disruption, the clean economy, climate change and global nationalism.
Infrastructure Development and Economic Growth – The opportunity for national economic growth and competitiveness via. strategic infrastructure investments and network linkages between cities and regions.
Assessing the ROI of Infratech Solutions – How the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Internet of Things are driving change across the sector and which solutions are creating the most amount of value.
Disruption to Infrastructure Valuations – How to make traditional infrastructure financial models more dynamic to account for changing user preferences, increasing management costs, and technological opportunities.
Fractional Ownership of Infrastructure – Innovative funding and financing trends, including the decentralized finance ‘DeFi’ movement and the opportunity to ‘democratize’ infrastructure investing for all.
