Integrated Finances for Strategic Infrastructures & Sites

New Forms of Funding is looking at a range of emerging forms of investment funding relevant to local anchor institutions e.g. combined/local authorities, universities, NHS organisations etc.It is supported by an online community of practice.

As ‘risk-based’ opportunities, these new forms of funding require local anchor institutions to think and act very differently when compared to traditional grant regimes. Institutions providing the finance will identify the ingredients of a successful application and practical case studies will transfer best practice.

This workshop focuses on the use of integrated funding approaches for strategic infrastructures and sites.
