The great convergence
The physical and digital are finally coming together — and we can’t wait to see what’s possible.
The physical and the digital have been on a path of convergence ever since the first computer was invented.
But now, the technological baseline has developed enough for it to truly take place. At NGP Capital, we welcome this convergence and the magic it can create.
We believe the 2020s will be a decade of ‘The Great Convergence’–a decade that will produce the next generation of iconic technology companies.
