Queensland is emerging as one of the most important pieces of Australia’s commercial space strategy. Australia’s space industry is moving into a more commercially ambitious phase, and the next opportunity may not simply be in rockets or satellites. It could be in the infrastructure that makes the entire ecosystem possible. From Queensland’s emerging launch capabilities […] Read more at The Global…
At first glance, an ASEAN electricity supergrid and Japanese care robots appear unrelated. In reality, both represent the same structural shift. Asia is entering an era in which infrastructure must become more intelligent, flexible and interconnected. Asia is entering a period in which two seemingly different business trends could become deeply connected: the movement of electricity across […]…

The United States already has roughly 4GW of installed geothermal generating capacity, according to the Department of Energy’s 2026 strategic plan. America’s next major power investment boom may not be visible from the ground. It could be happening thousands of metres beneath it.

The ASEAN Power Grid provides one of the clearest examples of how regional electricity integration could develop. Asia’s next major infrastructure story may not be another motorway, port or high-speed railway. It could be the electricity network quietly being built between countries. In May 2026, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) announced a $50 billion Pan-Asia Power Grid Initiative, […] Read more…
