Sovereigns often develop the ideas and evolve the policies to overcome the greatest global challenges, and never more so than in times of crisis. As a consequence, sovereigns have a strong record as promoters and catalysts of innovation. Sovereigns were behind the creation of the internet, and putting man on the moon. Sovereigns rarely act alone. More often than not, it is the collaboration between sovereigns and the private sector (a public private partnerships, or PPP), that originates and delivers innovation. Sovereigns provide the environment and incentives, and the private sector delivers innovative solutions.
We have worked with sovereigns, their partners and investors on a range of partnerships and complex projects, from education (aimed at raising child literacy), health care (aimed at providing international standard healthcare globally), to complex technology projects in aerospace.
