Europe needs transforming – but why now? DWS understands that revamping Europe to make it fit for the future requires capital and dynamism.
If Europe wishes to maintain the same level of prosperity achieved in the last few decades, a deep transformational journey is required. To protect living standards and build resilience in a world of heightened climate and geopolitical risk, transformative investments are needed across Europe’s commercial and residential real estate sectors, infrastructure, and along emerging market supply chains.
The mobilisation of private capital to support European Transformation is an immediate strategic priority at DWS. We believe the long-term nature of private markets is currently better suited for driving European transformation.

European Transformation and Real Estate
A focus on Office
‘Climate change risks’ are a key theme underpinning Europe’s urgent need to transform and the effect is already being felt across Europe. Buildings are the single largest energy consumer in Europe using 40% of the EU’s energy and creating 36% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. The EU commission has proposed that by 2030 all new buildings must be zero-emission… but this still leaves the existing building stock, 85% of which will still be standing in 2050.
At DWS, we believe transforming undervalued office into ‘best in class’ and holistically resilient workplace assets will create a resilient real estate portfolio for investors while addressing the urgent need to boost retro fitting rates to address the EU Commissions broader goals.

Europe’s need for investment in decarbonisation, digitalisation, and social infrastructure creates a compelling opportunity for investors given the vast array of projects associated to creating an economy that is climate resilient.

European Transformation and Private Debt
European transformation is an ambitious project requiring significant capital deployment. Some transformation will require significant investments from corporates in areas such as batteries and the development of an electric grid, and regulators will need to enable partnership structures to bring activities outsourced to Asia back to Europe.
High debt levels limits what governments can do. Private debt will need to fill the investment gap.
