Market Insights: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Industry and infrastructure are entering a powerful new phase shaped by digitalisation, decarbonisation, and resilience. What was once viewed primarily as a compliance burden is rapidly becoming a source of competitive advantage — and capital is moving decisively toward the opportunity.

This shift represents one of the most significant transformation opportunities of our generation.

What’s shaping the market today

  • Industry accounts for ~57% of global CO₂ emissions — presenting one of the largest opportunities for meaningful impact

  • The global industrial market is valued at $4.8 trillion (2025) and continues to grow

  • 90% of manufacturers are SMEs, many under pressure to modernise operations and improve productivity

  • Global R&D investment has reached $2.9 trillion, accelerating innovation across sectors

  • Policy momentum (EU Industrial Plan, CSRD, CBAM, US IRA) is driving adoption and investment

  • AI, automation and IoT are already delivering measurable gains in efficiency and performance

This is no longer a future trend. It is a structural shift already underway.

If you are an investor, founder or partner operating in industrial innovation or climate-aligned technologies, we would welcome the opportunity to connect.
