The Next Generation of Global Infrastructure Partnerships | The Futures Summit

This panel discussion explores how the U.S. economic toolkit can more proactively support the development and securing of critical infrastructure overseas. A core focus for the panel is articulating how the U.S. can better coordinate public and private capital with allied governments and more effectively mobilize private investment by scaling development finance and strategic capital. Unlike coercive financing from competitors, the U.S. toolkit can position itself to advance the needs and aspirations of partner countries, support self-sustaining private investment, and safeguard American security and economic interests.

Topics of discussion included maritime infrastructure such as ports and shipyards; digital infrastructure such as subsea cables; and transportation infrastructure such as airports and railways. 

The CSIS Futures Summit is made possible through generous support from Chevron Inc. (Founding sponsor), ADM, Cisco, and the Embassy of Denmark in Washington D.C.
