About Us
THIS YEAR’S FINDING
Money is no longer the binding constraint.
Drawn from a significantly larger set of live projects, then ranked on the merits. One project in eighteen made the final hundred.
Projects analysed
1,834
Eighty of the hundred are in procurement or construction, at an average methodology score of 74 out of 100. This is a near-term list.
Already moving
80%
Roughly double what the world invests today. Public budgets alone will not cover it, and good intentions will not build it.
Needed every year
$5.5tn
A project that clears review in a year in one country waits a decade in another. That gap, not the size of any balance sheet, now separates the countries that build from the ones that fall behind.STRATEGIC 100 - 2026 EDITION - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
