Smart Infrastructure is emerging on all major segments of the economy and as a unified 21st century megatrend.
Smart Utilities have emerged as a large megatrend of the 21stcentury and they service one or multiple cities and communities throughout their services territories along with many commercial, industrial, and residential customers. Smart Cities are emerging as another large megatrend in the 21stcentury, which own many buildings and service citizens and visitors in many open spaces, roads, buildings and homes. Smart Buildings, a large megatrend of the 20th century is transforming again, are finally getting actively integrated with Smart Utilities and being actively planned and managed by Smart Cities. Positive Energy Buildings is a key 21st megatrend.
As these trends are coming together at a very fast pace, the possibilities for innovation, shared infrastructure, cost reductions, new business models and unrivaled customer experiences await to be discovered.
