Real estate investment with
real impact
The Nordics is at the forefront of integrating social infrastructure including healthcare into its welfare systems. However, with a rapidly ageing population and a projected need for 185,000 new care beds until 2050, a combination of public and private capital is urgently needed to provide new, modern facilities and help society care for their elders.
In this CEO on-site interview, recorded at Altiden Holte, a care home asset in Denmark owned by one of Northern Horizon's healthcare funds, Group CEO Christoffer Abramson provides insights into the scale of the challenge and highlights the social benefits of an increased involvement of private capital.
Demographic forecast
Ageing is one of the biggest societal challenges
facing the Nordics
The undersupply of aged care beds across the Nordic region is not a recent development; it has been building over several decades and is projected to grow significantly in the coming years.
By 2050, the Nordic countries are projected to have 1.9 million more seniors aged 75 and over. As a result, 185,000 net new care beds are needed in the region until 2050 just to maintain one bed for every 10 people aged 75 and over.
This demand exceeds what the public sector can deliver alone. Public and private cooperation is needed to close the gap.
Impact-driven investments
Northern Horizon is deeply committed to helping create the spaces needed for dignified ageing in the Nordics.
Delivering these critical solutions to the region requires close collaboration with developers, municipalities, and the leading healthcare care providers.
Together, we work to provide new high-quality care beds that help meet current and future demand โ purpose-built facilities designed to create attractive living environments, promote well-being, and provide optimal physical settings for the care operators to deliver high-quality care and support.
