THE STATE OF THE FUTURE

Building A Stronger and More Connected Nation.

Why is the epicenter of the United States moving to Texas?

YTexas ? We like to Build; We embrace Energy; We love Engineering; We believe in Privacy and Data Sovereignty; and we know INFRASTRUCTURE!

Texas is leading a National Revival of Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Space, . . . and developing the workforce for the 21st Century.

Industry 4.0 is driving a resurgence of manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction. As the United States moves to reestablish manufacturing leadership our productivity is dependent on our ability to deploy Intelligent Infrastructure?and automated/autonomous systems outside the factory. It is also critical to do this by empowering the individual and family unit which is a key foundation of the United States. Industry 4.0 is dependent on millions of new diverse jobs and every job has a critical impact on society.?

Jamie Dimon , 摩根大通 had some great comments on the State of Texas and the fertile ground for economic development.

EPICENTER OF THE NATION

The future is going back to building real physical infrastructure and value within all communities. Texas, the?State of the Future ?is the Epicenter for Industry 4.0 Solutions. The current “tech-tonic” shift occurring in society will be the most transformational in over 50 years as we see the digital & physical collide within Intelligent Infrastructure. Creating millions of new jobs and economic growth nationwide by enabling innovation at the community level.

“The great economic revolutions in history are infrastructure revolutions”?Jeremy Rifkin, Founder of the Foundation on Economic Trends, Author and Economist?

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE

To realize the full potential of intelligent infrastructure is requires significant investment, collaboration among stakeholders, and careful consideration of privacy, security, and ethical concerns. Additionally, equitable access to intelligent infrastructure and addressing the digital divide are essential to ensure that the benefits of national revival are distributed inclusively.

Infrastructure investors?are mobilizing $billions in private capital to underwrite Intelligent Infrastructure Economic Zones .

It is great to see the leadership from the United States Senate - U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation Majority , U.S. House of Representatives - Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure.

FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE BANK

The purpose of the Federal Infrastructure Bank , Inc. (FIB) is to provide liquidity to the infrastructure finance market and to help standardize infrastructure finance.? This liquidity will be a major benefit to the infrastructure finance market since there is very limited liquidity, as described below. The FIB will help develop the market for infrastructure bonds that are of institutional quality, liquidity, and depth.? The FIB will ultimately be a wholesale infrastructure bank and clearing house for infrastructure loans, by syndicating infrastructure loans nationwide.?
