28 Apr 2026
Built & Infrastructure
Financing the Transition

Infrastructure is essential to achieving the UK’s net zero and growth ambitions, but delivering it requires unlocking unprecedented levels of private capital across key sectors, including energy, transport, housing and industry. Policy certainty, innovative financing, and global collaboration will determine whether the UK can attract the capital required and translate ambition into infrastructure that delivers prosperity and resilience for people and places.

  • How can policy, finance, and innovation align to accelerate transformative infrastructure investment?

  • What lessons can the UK draw from other markets in mobilising large-scale private capital?

  • What wider economic and societal benefits can infrastructure investment unlock?
