Critical infrastructure is the backbone of modern society and the built environment, encompassing humanity’s essential systems.
These systems, which power our homes, facilitate the movement of goods and people, ensure the safety and wellbeing of citizens and support economic stability are vital for the prosperity of nations.
However, much of today’s infrastructure is now outdated, inefficient, or vulnerable. This includes a significant proportion of ‘hard’ infrastructure, such as telecommunications and energy networks, which face challenges due to dating assets and increasing demands on networks. Many of these networks reaching the end of their lifespan cannot meet modern requirements, such as transmitting the amount of power or information required for advanced artificial intelligence systems.
Financial services also requires continual updates and improvements to ensure businesses keep up with customer expectations, remain compliant with evolving regulations, and are not vulnerable to more advanced cybersecurity threats.
Critical infrastructure can therefore have a transformational impact on society, providing the foundations on which innovations that drive society forward are built, alongside creating jobs and improving living standards. At IJS, we aspire to play a role in this development by providing funding and expertise to build and upgrade these systems, whilst providing stable and positive returns for shareholders over the long term.
