As global demand for smarter transportation and connected services intensifies, companies iPakket and Arqcons Group are urging business leaders and policymakers to shift from short-term priorities to long-term planning in infrastructure and mobility investments. The message comes as the World Economic Forum estimates the world faces a US$15 trillion infrastructure investment gap by 2040 unless investment increases, while the International Energy Agency reports that more than 680 million people worldwide still lack access to electricity.
"Infrastructure isn't built for today," said Juan Sebastian Palomo Murga, founder and CEO of Arqcons Group. "It's built for the generations that come after us. When decisions are driven only by short-term priorities, we limit what infrastructure and mobility can achieve for communities and economies."
Arqcons Group, alongside technology and mobility companies iPakket and Ride by iPakket, advocates for strategies that prioritize sustainability, innovation, and decades-long value. Since its founding, Arqcons Group has delivered large-scale infrastructure and engineering projects requiring careful planning and multidisciplinary collaboration. That commitment has guided the expansion of iPakket and Ride by iPakket, where technology improves logistics, urban mobility, and transportation accessibility through digital solutions, including carsharing services.
"You can't rush quality, and you can't build trust by focusing only on the next deadline," Palomo Murga said. "Whether we're developing infrastructure or expanding mobility services, the decisions we make today should continue creating value twenty or thirty years from now."
The companies view modern infrastructure as encompassing intelligent logistics networks, digital mobility platforms, and transportation systems that help businesses operate efficiently while giving communities greater access to essential services. As Ride by iPakket expands its carsharing platform and iPakket invests in technology-driven logistics, the focus remains on creating integrated transportation services that respond to changing urban needs and support long-term economic growth.
Beyond commercial operations, the companies support initiatives that expand access to clean energy in underserved communities throughout Central America, reflecting a broader commitment to sustainable development. "Reliable infrastructure creates opportunity," Palomo Murga said. "Whether it's transportation, logistics, clean energy, or connected mobility, these investments shape communities for decades. That is why they deserve long-term thinking and long-term commitment."
