A core focus for Macquarie is delivering solutions that support the communities in which we live and work, which is why we partner closely with governments to address the complex issues vital to cities and communities in the US and beyond. This covers not only #InfrastructureDevelopment, but also #GovTech, #EnergyTransition and #Resilience. Last weekend, we were proud to sponsor an event at the CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, alongside PayIt, as part of the United States Conference of Mayors' Annual Meeting, which convened #Mayors, #GovernmentOfficials, and affiliate organizations from across the United States. Macquarie Capital is an investor in PayIt, whose focus is on digital government and driving great outcomes for cities. Our leaders spent their time connecting with Federal, State and Local Governments discussing and exploring the opportunities and challenges faced by their cities and citizens.
