Mancano poche settimane all' apertura del più famoso Salone immobiliare del mondo: il MIPIM aprirà infatti i battenti l' 11 marzo, sulla Croisette di Cannes. Oggi, l' Ufficio Stampa del Salone ha diffuso un importante Comunicato : «MIPIM 2008 is set to establish a new attendance record for international investors. To date, the world's leading international property market is on line to play host to 6,600 investors, a 15% increase on the 5,807 that attended in 2007. This year, 180 investment companies will be new-comers to MIPIM, confirming the event as the tradeshow for international real-estate investors.Among the most notable firms coming to Cannes this year will be : Seb Immobilien-Investment (Germany), Allianz Immobilien (Germany), Union Investment Real Estate (Germany), Bayernlb Gf Immobilien (Germany), Deka Immobilien (Germany), Tishman Speyer (Germany), HSH Nordbank (Germany), MEAG (Germany), Eurohypo (Germany), DEGI (Germany), GE Real Estate (UK), Hammerson PLC (UK), Henderson Global Investors (UK), Lehman Brothers (UK), RREEF (Deutsche Bank AG) (UK) , JPMorgan Asset Management (UK), AEW Europe (France), Axa Reim (France), Grosvenor Continental Europe (France), Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking (France), Inovalis (France), Generali Property Investments (Italy), UBS AG (Switzerland), Corestate Capital (Switzerland), Redevco (Netherlands), ING Real Estate (Netherlands), Breevast (Netherlands), AMB Property Corporation (Netherlands), Aberdeen Property Investors (Sweden), Sponda (Finland), Vital Eiendom (Norway), Ejendomsinvest (Denmark), Sampension A/S (Denmark), Blackrock (USA), Credit Suisse (USA), Pramerica Real Estate Investors (USA), Apollo Real Estate Advisors (USA), Hines (USA), ING Clarion (USA), National Australia Bank (Australia)… MIPIM 2008 will address investors’ needs, with an inaugural, closed door “MIPIM Summit." This invitation only debate for top international investors will discuss the impact of asset managers who are handling increasingly large amounts of investment from pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and investment banks. “The new Romans, threat or treat?” will be broadcast exclusively by Bloomberg TV.
The conference programme will include discussion of such timely topics as “Investment: direct / indirect and public / private," “France, still in fashion?,” “Is Germany still the powerhouse of Europe,” “Where to invest,where to avoid?,” or “The U.S. Institutional Real Estate Market: What Comes Next?,” organised in partnership with the USA Pension Real Estate Association (PREA). Once again, MIPIM will offer a platform for real estate investment experts, with some 160 speakers on the agenda this year. Much-anticipated contributors include Dr Holger Schmieding, Chief Economist Europe at the Bank of America, Hans Timmer, Manager, DECPG of the World Bank, and Ramsey Mankarious, CEO of Cedar Capital Partners Ltd. In addition, the “Speed Matching” sessions will be repeated following their successful launch in MIPIM 2007. Three cycles are scheduled, two for the presentation of projects, and one for real estate investment funds.
In the current international real estate environment, investors are looking closely at tomorrow’s markets. Although they are still interested in the opportunities offered by the “old” Europe, investors attending MIPIM are now focusing more on high growth markets such as Central Europe, Eastern Europe, the Russian Federation, Turkey, and the Middle East, as well as Africa, Central Asia, and Latin America. MIPIM offers them an entry point into these markets through its exhibition area and its official conference programme, with specially chosen panels that provide the keys to invest in these markets. Among the speakers will be Guy Perry, President and Founder of Investments Environments (Poland), Andrey Goltsblat, Managing Partner of Pepeliaev, Goltsblat and Partners (Russia), Mohammed Al Tawash, President of Real Capita (Middle East) and Joao Batista Crestana, President of Secovi (Brazil).
Given the scale of these high-growth regions, a special knowledge-focused market called “MIPIM Horizons” has been developed to deepen understanding and appreciation of these territories. This new event will be held in Cannes from 2nd to 4th December 2008, providing an unrivalled information platform for these high potential markets with around 150 workshops on stands, “Speed Matching” sessions showcasing prestige projects, and regional focus panels with acknowledged experts. 10 months ahead of the event, almost 1,000m² of exhibition space has already been booked for companies drawn from 13 countries. Some 500 investors and 2,500 real estate professionals are already expected at this first MIPIM Horizons. You can find full information about MIPIM Horizons at www.mipimhorizons.com »
