About

WGI Ventures, LLC is the venture arm of WGI, Inc.

The architecture and engineering profession faces global competitiveness, rapid and sustained urbanization, infrastructure investment shortfalls and funding gaps, and a real need for resilience in the face of climate change.

WGI has consistently made investments in tomorrow’s technology and in our team members who leverage those new technologies in order to deliver real and sustainable solutions for our clients. Now we’re making even bolder investments through our venture capital arm, WGI Ventures.

We focus on investments in emerging and developing companies and technologies that provide solutions to the civil infrastructure and smart city ecosystem.

The built environment and the process by which we envision, design, and build civil infrastructure is changing faster than ever.
