Supply chain investment: where will the impact be felt, and where are the opportunities and challenges?
The US Infrastructure Bill has been rightly claimed as a once-in-a-generation achievement. It is a major new piece of legislation, with the prospect of modernizing and upgrading a wide array of technologies and industries. The bill will help with enormous infrastructure problems gripping the US—physical infrastructure that is badly in need of repair and improvement. The legislation provides for investment across the board, in ports, terminals, urban transportation, roads, railroads, broadband, and a wide range of other areas.
This event focuses on the effects of the infrastructure bill related to supply chain challenges. The bill will directly impact many of the bottlenecks in physical infrastructure: where will the impact of investment be felt, and where are the opportunities and challenges for private and public investment?
We will examine the dimensions of the supply chain crisis and its grip on US infrastructure. Will infrastructure investment clear up most of the problems, or are there other areas where investment needs to be made (private or public sector)?
This event will have a lot of value for public and private sector investors. Where are the near- and long-term investment and finance opportunities? Where should the focus be—how do we define and address the short- and long-term problems of infrastructure?
