Info

CG/LA Infrastructure LLC is a 21 year old firm dedicated to building global competitiveness and opportunity through infrastructure project creation. We do this for businesses, private investors and public policy professionals. Originally focused on Latin America, we are a firm with global reach - working throughout the US and in the growing markets of Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. CG/LA's focus on infrastructure is unique and powerful. Infrastructure is the internal framework for a country, allowing its economy and its citizens to be productive and healthy. Priority sectors include: ports & logistics; electricity; urban mass transit; water & wastewater; oil & gas; renewable energy; and other fundamental man-made pieces of a productive country. CG/LA recently produced a report on Global Infrastructure Demand, showing that through 2030 the world can expect to spend roughly $24 trillion on major infrastructure projects ($31 trillion if the US develops a robust investment model) - China is the largest single country market, at between $300 and $350 billion/year. Note that Norman F. Anderson, CG/LA's Founder, President & CEO, has just published "North American Infrastructure 2025," in The Future of North America in 2025; Outlook & Recommendations. The Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum: Since 2002, CG/LA has owned and operated the Latin American Leadership Forum, an infrastructure marketplace featuring the top 50 infrastructure projects in Latin America; in 2007 we initiated the Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum, an annual event that hosts and features the Top 100 global infrastructure projects. This year's 2nd Annual Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum will be held on December 10 & 11, 2008 in Washington, DC. CG/LA Project Development: Assists in all stages of the project development cycle, from market assessment to project design, and works with specialty partners to access public funds for feasibility studies and private funds for full-scale investments. We see enormous project development opportunities throughout emerging markets, particularly in the areas of energy development, and water and wastewater capacity creation. Anand Hemnani, Executive Vice President & Chief Investment Officer, runs this unit. CG/LA Strategy Consulting: Assists companies and countries in defining and achieving critical strategic objectives - particularly including how these relate to profits, revenues and new markets. Current client examples include mega-cities in the areas of transport, water/wastewater and housing, and a major international investor focused on deploying capital for infrastructure projects in one of the BRIC's. Ricardo DeVecchi, Vice President, runs the Strategy Consulting unit. CG/LA Rankings & Market Demand: Manages a 24/7 executive intelligence service focusing on high impact, just-in-time intelligence and strategic advice for high-level executives. This subscription service is heavily weighted to one-on-one work with clients, including executive briefings on project opportunities in four areas: ports & logistics; electricity; oil & gas; and water/wastewater. A key current initiative is building-out our Global Infrastructure Rankings. Patricia Pietravalle, Vice President, runs the Rankings & Market Demand unit. CG/LA employs (and constantly develops and updates) a system of three proprietary databases critical for identifying infrastructure business opportunities around the world. The Executive Decision-Maker database currently contains more than 97,000 records of executives interested in infrastructure, whether from the financial, engineering, equipment or policy perspectives. CG/LA Infrastructure LLC is headquartered in Washington D.C.
