InfraCo Asia is an innovative model that combines public sector funding and private sector expertise to bring a sustainable private sector solution to meet the unmet infrastructure needs in developing countries. Three main points define the ways in which InfraCo Asia is innovative:

Applying public funds to de-risk infrastructure projects and catalyse private sector participation: As a company of the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), InfraCo Asia is currently funded by four members of the PIDG: the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO); the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands (DGIS); the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO); and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). These donor funds are used to mitigate early-stage project development risks and create “bankable” infrastructure projects that will attract more private sector investment. In this way, InfraCo Asia steps in where the private sector is initially unable or unwilling to invest on its own. InfraCo Asia is additional to the private sector: Our role is to complement, not compete with, the private sector.
Taking a private sector approach: Acting commercially as an investor, InfraCo Asia seeks to ensure each project it undertakes is commercially viable in order to be able to attract further private sector capital to invest in the project. Through its contracted developer teams and in-house management team, InfraCo Asia provides the relevant private sector expertise and experience needed to develop and manage projects
Focusing on development impact and sustainability: InfraCo Asia focuses on providing new or improved access to infrastructure to lower-income communities in South and South East Asia, thereby contributing to inclusive economic growth and poverty reduction. Environmental impact is also an important consideration, and InfraCo Asia seeks out projects that will lead to overall carbon footprint reduction and reduced environmental impact.
