A collaboration between TH Real Estate and MIPIM, with contribution from the ESSEC Business School’s students, this report shares what we believe are the biggest concerns of real estate investors today, and our top highlights from 2017’s MIPIM conference. With 24,200 visitors from 100 countries, including over 5,000 investors and more than 400 journalists, the conference’s main theme ‘A new deal for real estate’ focused on the increasing rate of change in digital and technology innovation, consumer habits, geopolitics, and their impact on real estate and the built environment. Over 100 sessions were held, with some of the most influential real estate doers and makers as speakers: investors, developers, entrepreneurs, consultants and representatives.
