PPPWorld The global platform for PPP projects
About

The global platform for
Public-Private Partnership projects

A global one-stop platform bringing together publicly announced Public-Private Partnership projects, free of charge, while enabling public authorities and investors to connect directly—with no mandatory intermediary.

The context

A colossal global need, fragmented information.

Global infrastructure will require an estimated $94 trillion of investment by 2040, with a growing share in emerging and developing economies. Public budgets cannot meet this alone: the financing gap is put at around $15 trillion, making private capital, and therefore PPPs, an indispensable lever.

Yet information on projects remains scattered across low-visibility ministry websites, paid databases and national tender gazettes. Many viable projects never meet their investors.

And layers of intermediaries drive up transaction costs and stretch timelines, to the detriment of states and investors alike.

The missing link

The platform does not compete with information databases. It creates the missing link between the sovereign announcement and private capital.

The concept

A single global one-stop shop for PPP projects.

The platform brings together, in one point of access, every PPP project offered worldwide by states and public bodies, and does nothing more than make them visible and reachable.

Universal publication

Every PPP project, in every country and every sector, published and drawn from their own official announcements.

Referral to state sources

Every project sheet links systematically to the dedicated official page (ministry, PPP unit or agency). The data is authoritative at its source.

Direct connection

Investors and public authorities get in touch directly, with no intermediary and no broker’s commission.

Expertise on demand

Optionally, expert advice to negotiate and close mutually beneficial agreements, plus support once activities get under way.

Founding principles

Sovereignty, transparency, disintermediation.

The platform rests on a handful of principles that make it dependable for states and investors alike.

Transparency through the source. Systematic referral to official pages removes market rumour: one version of each project, the issuing authority’s.
Disintermediation. The platform is neither broker, agent nor party to transactions. Contact is direct, and no commission is taken on the agreements reached.
Neutrality and fair access. The same publication rules for every state, and the same access to information for every registered investor, major funds and regional players alike.
The platform

Features that serve both sides.

Multi-criteria search

By country, region, sector, sub-sector, stage of progress, ticket size and contractual model (BOT, concession, lease and more).

Standardised project sheets

Description, structure, timeline, contracting authority and progress status, in a format that is comparable from one country to the next.

Interactive globe

A worldwide map of projects open to financing, with visual filters by sector and by volume.

Alerts and monitoring

Targeted notifications on new projects, updates and deadlines matching each investor’s profile.

Secure contact space

Expressions of interest sent straight to the public authority, or after verification of the investor’s identity.

Market statistics

Published volumes, active sectors and average closing times: aggregated data useful to states and analysts alike.

Optional services

From a connection to a project that succeeds.

Browsing projects and making contact stay free. At the parties’ request, the platform draws on a network of independent experts (lawyers, financiers, engineers and tax specialists) paid for the work they do.

Negotiation advice

Help structuring and negotiating mutually beneficial agreements: risk-sharing, a responsibility matrix and economic-balance clauses.

Legal and financial security

Contract review, compliance with local law and international standards, and financial structuring, through to signing and financial close.

Start-up support

Operational help at launch: the project company, governance, key hires, first contractual milestones and relations with the granting authority.

Capacity building

Training for national PPP units and project teams: preparing files, appraisal and monitoring contract delivery.

Agreements with states. Framework agreements that define what may be published.
Data protection. Secure hosting, traceable exchanges and compliance with the applicable data-protection regimes.
Statutory neutrality. The platform is never a party, an imposed adviser or a beneficiary of transactions; its independence is its first guarantee.
