Infrastructures,  Mobility and Urban Tech

Canada public private partnership model (PPP) is one of the most active worldwide for developing and financing sustainable infrastructures.

On large scale infrastructure projects where private sector innovation is sought and the amount of private investment is significantly greater, the private sector takes a robust role in the delivery of these assets providing both equity and long-term lending to these infrastructure transactions. The private sector also designs, constructs, performs routine and periodic maintenance and assumes the lifecycle maintenance of the assets over the contract term (20 to 30 years), typically through a design-build-finance-operate-maintain (DBFOM) contract.

With significant funds at risk, lenders and equity investors provide a level of rigor and due diligence to assess project risks and impacts and have a vested interest in long-term project performance. In return, lenders and equity investors find these projects attractive as they offer a long-term stable investment providing steady risk-adjusted returns.

This successful Canadian model is spreading to the US, UK, Australia, South America and present numerous opportunities for innovative companies across the value chain; engineering and design, construction, technology, energy generation, equipment, operations and maintenance and financing.
