NICW newsletter – Spring 2026

Meetings and events

  • In March we launched two of our reports at a packed and lively session in Cardiff. One report was a snapshot of the five infrastructure sectors, with some thoughts on how we could improve outcomes in each sector. The second report assessed how major infrastructure projects in Wales had performed – and any lessons learned from them.

Correspondence

You can see all our correspondence here. We wrote several times to the CCEI Committee of the last Senedd, as well as to Welsh Government and several Ministers.

Coming up

Over the coming months, keep your eyes peeled for:

  • Blog posts showcasing our thinking on a range of topics 👀
