About
Infrastructure Journal
Infrastructure Journal is the most influential insight and data service provider
for global infrastructure and project finance.
IJ commenced publishing in 1997 as a print publication. Keeping abreast of latest
trends in the publishing world, IJ made a successful transition from being a print
media publication to a subscription-based website model in June 2003. Complementing
its website, IJ continues to publish special print publications on a regular basis.
In 2007, IJ was acquired by Emap Ltd., a British media company specialising in the
production of business-to-business magazines and organisation of business events
and conferences. Recording a steady growth, both in terms of editorial coverage
and operations, IJ presently employs correspondents, feature writers and in-house
analysts, covering developments in Infrastructure Funds, Oil & Gas, Power, Renewables,
Water, Transport, Infra Policy & Regulation, Health and Education sectors and the
latest PPP/PFI trends.
The team is led by Kay Scott who has been the publisher and managing director of
IJ since 2007, along with John McKenna (Energy Editor) and John Kjorstad (Head of
Research & Analysis), who joined the publication in 2004 and 2006 respectively.
Through its close links with the industry, from global investment to leading advising
firms, government agencies to financial institutions, IJ delivers valuable content
on the projects making it to market, updates on how they are progressing right through
to financial close and, in cases where it becomes sticky – tracking syndication
of debt. This is achieved via its breaking news service, regular market analysis,
in-depth features, a projects database of over 5000 projects and a comprehensive
archive.
The IJ project database is essential for project-tracking and private sector investment
in infrastructure, monitoring current market conditions and analysing past market
activity as it contains technical and financial information of both closed and live
transactions at various stages of development. Additionally, IJ also provides custom
research with bespoke research solutions. The publication has also been instrumental
in recognising landmark transactions and achievements in the sector by awarding
top performers. Since its inception nine years ago, the IJ Annual Awards ceremony,
the latest of which took place in March 2010, has become a signature industry event
with key figures from the infrastructure markets in regular attendance.
Over the years, IJ’s readership has grown to include government ministers, officials,
developers, investors, financiers, lawyers and consultants seeking unbiased, innovative
and thought-provoking information on topics of key importance in the Infrastructure
world.
