Supporting nations in strengthening sovereign resilience
In response to geopolitical, economic and technological shifts, governments are investing in greater self-sufficiency across critical areas such as technology, energy, supply chains and national security.
The additional investment required to building national resilience exceeds what government can fund alone, creating an opportunity for private capital to play a greater role.
As a global investor in infrastructure, energy and technology, we see the private sector helping build national resilience across a range of areas.
Building supply chain security | Developing 'dual use' defence infrastructure | Strengthening energy and fuel security | Boosting telecoms, digital and data sovereignty | Expanding advanced manufacturing capabilities |
Investing in national supply chains
Disruption to global trade networks in recent years has focused attention on national supply chain resilience - from ports, airports and container terminals to road and rail networks, logistics hubs and warehousing, and fibre and telecoms systems.
Additional investment required in ports, logistics, energy and digital infrastructure creates an opportunity for public-private partnerships and private capital.
After decades of seeking efficiencies in global trade, which continues to be important, there’s now as much focus on ‘just in case’ as there is on ‘just in time’.”

Investing in a leading ports and terminals business
Macquarie Asset Management led a consortium investing approximately $A11.7 billion in Qube, a leading ports and terminals business with an extensive asset footprint spanning terminals, ports, storage, rail and road facilities across Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, providing end to end supply chain infrastructure for customers.
Governments and long-term investors are converging on the same conclusion: supply chain resilience isn't a cost of doing business anymore, it's a strategic asset class in its own right.”
