Over 22,000 square meters of exhibition space, professionals from 100 countries, and 3800 participating companies. These are the numbers of MIPIM, from 15 to 18 March at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, the most eagerly awaited moment for the real estate sector, which attracts a large audience of developers, architects, local and municipal authorities, investors and all the players of the world of real estate.

Four days of events, with over 80 conferences, debates, round tables, summits, a prize ceremony and more informal moments of networking.
Don’t miss the Re-Invest summit, an event behind closed doors that allows asset, pension and insurance funds to discuss the latest strategies, trends and challenges for investment.
During a series of round tables, speakers will talk about key topics, such as the possible effects of carbon accounting, the role of governments, the impact of Generation Z on the adoption of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria utilized to measure sustainability.
MIPIM 2022 will also welcome tech investors for the first time, with the initiative Propel by MIPIM, a conference on real estate technology. For the occasion, the company Metaprop will present the Global Proptech Confidence Index 2022, to provide the latest information on the property technology ecosystem.
One of the most eagerly awaited debates is “Prime real estate, location or features?”, where exports will examine the characteristics of real estate that make the market so attractive, and which assets will prosper in the post-pandemic era.
Another important round table will focus on the ESG principles that guide real estate investments, with names like Guy Grainger of JLL, Abigail Dean of Nuveen and Clare Thomas of CMS.
“With investment into European real estate reaching an all-time high, this year’s MIPIM arrives at a crucial moment for the sector as we continue to build our recovery following the pandemic,” says Ronan Vaspart, director of MIPIM. “At the same time, as we turbocharge our efforts to reach a net zero carbon future, it’s vital we have decision-makers gathered together to find the best solutions to embed ESG criteria into investment strategies.”
