A full-fibre broadband provider, Giganet’s mission is to challenge the status quo and connect people to a future-proofed network. To achieve this, they are building a new, modern, nationwide fibre optic network that will provide people with the fastest, most reliable broadband speeds.

However, investment is crucial for fibre infrastructure businesses to grow and scale.

Funds managed by Octopus have been deployed into a group of fibre companies, such as Giganet, to upgrade the UK’s digital infrastructure.

Our Octopus sustainable infrastructure team invests in the next generation of economically and socially critical infrastructure companies.

Octopus Capital opens first affordable homes in Scotland, reaching 1,000-home milestone

Octopus Capital has reached a major milestone, delivering its 1,000th affordable home through the Octopus Affordable Housing Strategy. The achievement coincides with the opening of The Pines in East Lothian, the firm's first affordable housing development in Scotland, extending its mission to provide high-quality, affordable homes across the UK.

Putting purpose to work: social infrastructure, foundations and endowments

Foundations are rethinking how their capital works. Beyond grant-making, investment strategies are increasingly being aligned with mission. Social infrastructure – from affordable housing to care – offers a way to deliver long-term returns while contributing to essential services. For endowments, it’s an approach that can bring purpose and portfolio closer together.
