The Motive model: investing in the infrastructure that shapes how financial services evolves.

In a market where capital outpaces good ideas, valuation alone tells you less than it used to. The real signal is whether a business can integrate into networks that amplify its value and build infrastructure other companies depend on. That requires more than ambition. It requires deep expertise, hands-on partnership, and a clear view of where demand is heading.

At Davos 2026, Motive Partners Founder and Managing Partner Rob Heyvaert sat down with Infosys to lay out that thesis. From the competitive advantages of ecosystem knowledge to the opportunities unfolding across wealth management, capital markets, and payments, Rob explains what the Motive model looks like in practice and where the next generation of financial infrastructure winners will emerge.

There’s more capital than good ideas.

The winners are going to be challenged and it’s going to be fascinating to watch.The world is going to be an oyster for those who know what they’re doing.
