It is a welcome change in approach and demonstrates tremendous ambition.<\/p>\n<p>However, the challenge is equally large. From early-stage scale-up finance to the long-term funding needs of critical infrastructure, an estimated \u00a3345 billion of private finance is required to deliver the programme over the next decade. This report investigates the role of private finance in transforming the UK\u2019s energy sector. It goes on to analyse the contribution private finance will need to make to help the eight priority sectors (the IS-8) the government identified in its Industrial Strategy to reach their targets over the next decade.<\/p>\n<p>Download the report<\/p>\n<p>In a new report for BNP Paribas, we investigate the role of private finance in helping the government achieve its Industrial and Infrastructure aims.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"709\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BNP-Paribas.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-144060\" style=\"width:219px;height:auto\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The experts behind the research<\/p>\n<p>                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"uk-border-circle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Andy-Logan-150x150.png\" alt=\"Andy Logan\" width=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                Andy Logan<\/p>\n<p>Director of Industry Consulting<\/p>\n<p>\n                                        Andy Logan                                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"uk-text-bold\">Director of Industry Consulting<\/p>\n<p>Andy Logan leads our Consultancy offer on different industries for clients.
