UK Resi Funding Gap
It’s only illogical!
- Dry Powder - Is it the reason for the gap? How are dynamics changing between lenders, borrowers, and investors?
- Regional Growth Bubbles - Is London where resilience is strongest or is there value emerging elsewhere?
- Affordability - How can we balance out operational costs, inflation, and final consumer pricing?
- Inflation vs. Value - Can funding keep up or will we need to hold on for now?
- Supply & Demand - Does the housing crisis spell out opportunity or should we be wary of high costs?
14:30-15:30
Student Housing
All hail the safety net or getting crowded?
- Capital - Still institutional game or pricing right for wider capital pool?
- Location - Which countries in Europe are the “popular kids”?
- Zero Carbon - Greenfield or Brownfield?
- Affordability of Tenants - Is the changing demographic of students impacting supply/ demand
- Product Innovation - Competitive advantages to portfolios or too hard to measure?

Accenta s'attaque à un immense défi environnemental : décarboner le chauffage et la climatisation des bâtiments, qui représentent 10% des émissions mondiales de CO2. Elle est issue de 3 années de R&D au X-Novation Center de l'Ecole Polytechnique. Grâce à des innovations portées par l'Intelligence Artificielle, l'entreprise a mis au point des technologies énergétiques uniques qui rendent accessibles et garantissent aux propriétaires immobiliers une décarbonation drastique du chauffage et de la climatisation. Avec la chaufferie bas carbone et la plateforme d'optimisation d'Accenta, vous chauffez et climatisez vos bâtiments de manière compétitive en divisant par 14 vos émissions de carbone et réduisant vos émissions carbone jusqu’à -95%.
