When the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was signed into law in November 2021, it allocated $1.2 trillion for infrastructure initiatives across the country. While the focus has been on large tranches of funding allocated for sweeping categories of infrastructure – roads and bridges, internet connectivity, water systems, etc. – less attention has been paid to the role of digital transformation within these groupings.

For instance, rebuilding or expanding water systems isn’t simply about laying new pipes. It can include installing smart water meters, setting up an online portal for customers, or digitizing and streamlining internal processes. Rebuilding bridges may include embedding sensors to track variables such as traffic volume and icing conditions. States and localities have the opportunity to incorporate these and many other digital innovations to maximize the value of their projects.

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the components in the IIJA and how the funding can be used to reshape infrastructure for the 21st century.
