The Latin American charging infrastructure market is emerging, but the number of charging points is reducing. In 2022, for example, the region had 6,492 public and semi-public charging points to cater to an electric vehicle (EV) parc of about 89 thousand units. Despite that, the market is expected to witness rapid growth, especially due to the risi...

Urban population growth, the impacts of climate change, and water scarcity risks present challenges and opportunities for Australian water corporations. As demand for water increases, companies providing water and sewerage services are under growing pressure to improve resource efficiency, address sustainability needs, and ensure affordability for ...

Energy is the world’s most dynamic industry in need of change. Electric utilities and power retailers are the backbone of the energy transition as they cope with increasing power demand and changing load patterns driven by electrification. They also enable greenhouse gas reductions by integrating distributed energy resources such as solar rooftops,...

The energy industry, which has traditionally been highly stable, is currently undergoing a drastic transformation. A number of disrupting elements, including the digitisation of electricity networks and products, deregulation, increased competition from new entrants, decreasing demand, a shift to cleaner energy sources, changes in consumption patte...

The global data centre industry is entering a new growth phase, driven by surging AI adoption, expanding cloud ecosystems, energy transition requirements, and the increasing digitisation of economies. The most significant growth opportunities are emerging at the intersection of computing capacity, energy infrastructure, cooling innovation, digital ...

The United Kingdom, despite having relatively high rainfall and water availability compared to many other countries, faces water stress primarily because of climate change, which has changed rainfall patterns and caused droughts. During the 2022 drought, some UK water utilities implemented an unprecedented hosepipe ban. Droughts are expected to bec...

The growing use of digital payments in Asia-Pacific (APAC) paves the way for innovation and new use cases that address user pain points payment solutions, such as self-checkout, enhance customer experience while software point-of-sale (softPOS) accelerates the merchant onboarding process. The APAC market will become more aware of the benefits of ne...

Globally, water utilities face unprecedented weather patterns, urbanization trends, and various disruptive events that affect their service quality and asset sustainability. In response, utility operators are exploring various solutions to ensure resilience and are taking major steps toward circular economy and net zero goals to ensure long-term en...

Tightening emissions regulations, the Clean Vehicles Directive, and government subsidies increasingly drive European bus operators to purchase electric buses for their fleets. However, putting more electric buses on the road requires sufficient charging infrastructure. Most electric fleets operating in Europe use only depot charging or a combinatio...
