Macquarie Group, the world’s largest manager of infrastructure assets, has seeded money in a map system for drones and an electric-vehicle sharing business, it said on Monday.
The investments highlight how money managers are looking beyond traditional infrastructure projects, such as toll roads and airports, to burgeoning technologies.
“The overarching theme is that technology is revolutionizing the infrastructure world,” Stephan Feilhauer, senior vice president at Macquarie Capital, said in an interview.
