October 10, 2024

A WISC discussion at the Wilson Center’s Wahba Institute for Strategic Competition exploring how private infrastructure investment can power economic growth, featuring Dr. Sadek Wahba who will share insights from his new book, “Build: Investing in America’s Infrastructure.” This important work highlights the lagging infrastructure investment in the US and proposes bold policy action to rectify it.

Applying his extensive experience in infrastructure investment management at the World Bank, Morgan Stanley, the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council, and as founder of I Squared Capital, Dr. Wahba provides invaluable insights into the current state of US infrastructure and the need for private sector inclusion to overcome investment and management shortcomings. Dr. Wahba makes the case that greater private sector involvement can be a sustainable path forward to improving the lives of millions of Americans, growing the US economy, and helping to ensure victory in strategic competition.
