NCG Sweden sees trends that infrastructure investments are increasingly using cross-cutting issues to boost the results and sustainability of project. As NCG offers knowledge and capacity in issues such as social impact, gender mainstreaming, financial assessments, environmental impact and climate change impact NCG is also being approached by companies with more technical profiles to team up for large scale investment studies in this sector. A consortium consisting of NCg Sweden, GWCC (Austria), Sweco and Hifab International recently won an EBRD study in Tajikistan.
NCG partners have since November 2011 incrasingly been meeting with old and new contacts. We are reiterating our interested in cooperation with organisations such as Hifab, Sweco, SweRoad, and of course with the NCG family companies, with whom we have had good results previously. We are also seeking new models for how we organise and meet new intersting partnerships for mutual benefit. This includes working with partners that have another approach and experience that NCG Sweden, where we can develop new methodologies and approaches to assignments. We have e.g. met with a number of individual consultants, but also Gaia Leadership (Swedish) and InProgress (Based in Germany) to develop new ideas and possibilities. We look forward to continuing and deepening this cooperation and hope it will benefit both parties as well as customers.
