Infrastructure: Trends Report 2023, Quantumrun Foresight

Infrastructure has been forced to keep up with the blinding pace of recent digital and societal advances. For instance, infrastructure projects that boost internet speed and facilitate renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important in today's digital and environmentally conscious age. These projects not only support the growing demand for fast and reliable internet but also help mitigate the environmental impact of energy consumption. 

Governments and private industries invest heavily in such initiatives, including deploying fiber-optic networks, solar and wind energy farms, and energy-efficient data centers. This report section explores various infrastructure trends, including the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G networks, and renewable energy frameworks that Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.
