Mobilising Capital: Financing Infrastructure Transformation

28 Apr 2026
Built & Infrastructure
Financing the Transition

Infrastructure will play a central role in delivering the UK’s net zero transition while supporting long-term economic growth. From clean energy and transport to housing and industrial systems, transforming the country’s infrastructure will require unprecedented levels of investment.

Mobilising the scale of private capital needed will depend on policy certainty, innovative financing models and strong public–private collaboration.

• How can policy, finance and innovation align to accelerate investment in the UK’s next generation of infrastructure?
• What lessons can the UK draw from other markets that have successfully mobilised large-scale private capital for infrastructure?
