Local Authorities in the Northern Powerhouse want to attract more private sector investment into northern infrastructure. Investors have lots of capital to invest in well-designed infrastructure deals. However, there are blockages to it actually happening, especially in relation to risk: reward expectations and the creation of sufficient revenue (funding) from projects to repay the initial investors, as well as issues around timing of revenues. Join us for the morning as we explore these issues further. We will hear from both sides of the table to better explain their position before we move into a panel discussion including both parties to discuss some of the tools that we might use to bridge the gaps and get the investments flowing.
