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.
