ABOUT US
The Infrastructure Forum is a by-invitation organisation which brings together the leading players in the UK's National Infrastructure.
At its discussions, held under the Chatham House rule, the UK’s most prominent infrastructure leaders, investors, operators and advisors come together to explore the future development of the sector.
Involvement in The Infrastructure Forum offers a range of opportunities, and members of its network are encouraged to play a full part across its work and the work of its associated organisations
UPCOMING POLICY DISCUSSIONS
Economic Regulation & Infrastructure
September 2025
In the second half of 2025 an overarching review of economic regulation drawing on sectoral initiatives will take place under auspices of the Department for Business and Trade.
This Review is significant for the infrastructure sectors and the Forum is glad that Caleb Deeks, the Director General responsible for economic regulation at the Department for Business and Trade has kindly agreed to join a special roundtable to set out progress.
How to Address Major Project Issues
October 2025
The recent report from James Stewart OBE was referenced multiple times during the Hartwell House Infrastructure Policy Summit as a significant and contribution, particularly in its examination of the lessons learned from HS2 for future infrastructure delivery.
This Autumn, James will lead a roundtable at The Infrastructure Forum to explore the report’s ideas in greater depth and assess the progress made since its publication. Expert discussants will also join to offer reflections on the report.
Jim O'Neil, Second Permanent Secretary, HM Treasury
December 2025
The Forum will hold a special roundtable with the recently appointed Second Permanent Secretary of HM Treasury, Jim O’Neil in December 2025. The Second Permanent Secretary’s responsibilities include oversight of policies to create sustainable growth across the UK.
This offers an opportunity, under the Chatham House Rule, to share perspectives with Jim O’Neil on the key policy, investment and incentive issues concerning the Forum’s network. Equally it will be a pleasant opportunity to hear his own analysis after the Autumn Budget.
