Investment trends

Nicolas Kozubek، MIPIM Director، said:

“With global economic and monetary policy still in an uncertain state، MIPIM 2024 promises to be a crucial year for public and private stakeholders to secure vital capital investment to support building and regeneration projects. The continued popularity of our Re-Invest Summit، attended by the world's leading investors، underscores MIPIM's critical role as the premier venue for discussing the latest trends، strategies، and opportunities in the real estate market.

From the MIPIM Housing Matters! summit to the innovative Road to Zero platform، MIPIM 2024 promises to spotlight growing asset classes and sustainable investment strategies، underscoring real estate’s central role in achieving global net zero targets، and offering abundant opportunities for cities and investors to collaborate on creating a better future."

Major speakers at MIPIM 2024 include Sanna Marin، the former Prime Minister of Finland، who will open MIPIM with a keynote speech and Klara Geywitz، German Federal Minister for Housing، Urban Development and Building.

Alongside the major European cities and regions، investors will be joined by delegations from the US، Canada، Oman، Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong among others، making MIPIM a truly global event in 2024.

The Leaders’ Perspective Stage is focused on forecasts from those making waves in industry، while The Asset Class Stage looks into the main asset classes to gain insight into the direction of the market. The Geo Focus Stage examines specific local markets. The Make It Happen Stage will feature conversations about operational excellence and practical solutions to address current market issues.

This year، in partnership with Co-Liv، MIPIM will host ‘Housing Matters!'، a new half-day summit focused on sustainable housing solutions including single-family housing، student accommodation، build-to-rent (BTR)، later-living، and other innovative models.
