Project activation and development

A proven place-based approach to project activation and development.

Transformation of industries, assets and places requires a place-based approach to understand complexity and constraints while mobilising local and global resources to innovate and resolve key delivery challenges.

Overview

With roots in the impact economy, we bring a unique approach to transformation of industries, assets and places. We support our clients to build capacity and capabilities to develop projects that address transition and sustainability, economic growth, and social equality. Our project activation platform enables localised responses to national scale transitions, and delivery of project outcomes that meet a wide range of stakeholder requirements.

Our Placelink® platform enables project developers to engage with governments and communities, and align project delivery with strategic objectives and frameworks. We support our clients in technology enablement of material sustainability risks and issues, to ensure continuity of reporting from on-the-ground asset impacts, through to company disclosures.
