Ireland’s future depends on world-class infrastructure—and much of it is delivered by the private sector. From telecommunications and energy to transport, social infrastructure, and environmental infrastructure, private finance plays a critical role in building the foundations of a dynamic, sustainable economy.
Ibec’s ‘Dig a Little Deeper’ report reveals why attracting international capital is essential for Ireland’s growth. With our population set to increase by nearly one million by 2035, and ambitious carbon reduction targets on the horizon, the need for investment has never been greater. Private infrastructure providers are already funding and delivering projects that power homes, connect communities, and enable enterprise expansion—but competition for this mobile capital is fierce.
Discover how strategic partnerships between government and private investors can unlock the infrastructure Ireland needs—boosting productivity, competitiveness, and quality of life for all. Explore the challenges, opportunities, and solutions that will shape the next decade of investment.

World-class infrastructure provides the critical foundation for business to deliver jobs, growth and quality of life. Roads, bridges, transport systems, airports, ports, power, broadband, water, sewage and other utilities have a direct impact on productivity and our ability to attract investment. Affordable housing is essential if Ireland hopes to be an attractive location to live and work. Ibec’s policy team leads the dialogue with Government and the EU on key infrastructure priorities in areas such as energy and climate change, environment, planning and regional growth. We actively encourage all Ibec member companies with a particular interest or stake in EU and international affairs to participate and contribute to our activities.
