Newcore is shortlisted for the Best Strategy category at the 2024 Pensions for Purpose Content Awards

We are delighted to share that Newcore has been shortlisted for the Best Strategy category at the Pensions for Purpose Content Awards for its paper entitled, ‘The Future of UK Social Infrastructure’.

The report, written with Professor Peter Madden, OBE, outlines opportunities for private sector investment into UK social infrastructure.

It sets out how investors and the real estate industry can understand and respond to challenges like climate change, resource scarcity, ageing populations, and the advent of new technologies like AI. New approaches to sustainability challenges, changing demographics, UK food production, and the further development of the space economy will drive growth of new sectors.

Investors expect that increased pressure on government spending will likely result in needing further private sector involvement in the provision of assets that serve essential needs. “There will be need to be more private-public funding to deal with a shortfall of government resourcing”, the report says.

Future need is influenced by structural shifts, such as ageing, widening wealth inequality, automation and the climate crisis – all of which will change how and where social infrastructure is delivered.
