Welcome to the Future of Infrastructure

By Jeremy Goldberg, Worldwide Director of Critical Infrastructure

Last year, I had the great opportunity to sit down with leaders from across the globe who are taking action and getting infrastructure projects done. My conversations have taken me (physically and virtually) to NYC, San Francisco, Cleveland, Geneva and Perth. 

This year, The Future of Infrastructure is setting off on its own as a standalone podcast hosted on Microsoft’s Public Sector Center of Expertise. The goal remains – to explore the humanity behind today’s most important infrastructure projects with in-depth interviews focused on the dynamic public sector leaders, business leaders, entrepreneurs, artists and city planners who are getting them done.
