The MIPIM will be held again in face-to-face format in Cannes, from 15 to 18 March, where the best opportunities to invest in real estate in Lisbon and Porto will be highlighted.
The Lisbon stand will stage the City Council and bring together around 10 private entities with projects in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, including co-exhibitors such as Vogue Homes, Krest Real Estate Investments, Lince Capital, B.Prime , Besix Red, Green Rock Real Estate, CCA Law Firm, Essentia, SGAL, Contacto Atlântico and Lantia.
Innovation and sustainability will be two of the main bets of the City Council, which will present some of the greatest investment opportunities in this area, namely the new Affordable Income Programme. Carlos Moedas, Mayor of Lisbon, and the councilor for Urbanism, Joana Almeida, have already confirmed their presence at the fair, where they will represent the municipality in various initiatives.
For the 8th consecutive edition, this year the municipal investment promotion agency InvestLisboa is the entity responsible for leading and coordinating this participation of the Lisbon delegation in what is the largest world event dedicated to real estate investment.
InvestLisboa believes that «participating in MIPIM is an opportunity to easily contact the main global players in the real estate sector and cities». Therefore, the agency comments, «it is our conviction that the MIPIM will be a very important event to reinforce the confidence of international investors in Lisbon, signaling the vitality of the region through its presence and its main players, and the most easy to substantiate this interest in concrete projects and partnerships».
This year, Porto will have the largest participation ever in MIPIM, organized by InvestPorto. The municipality challenged companies and private investors for a joint participation, focusing on «turning this participation into an opportunity to establish links and partnerships with visitors, among which are the main players in the real estate industry, as well as to learn about new trends in the sector».
Ricardo Valente, councilor of the municipality responsible for Finance, Economy and Employment, explains that «we will occupy an area with an innovative and technological environment, prepared with two distinct areas: exhibition and meetings. We believe that we have the best space to present Porto and continue to attract investment for the city, following up on the entire strategy that made it possible to make Porto one of the main tourist destinations and a global business hub».
The mayor also reinforces that “this is a unique opportunity that we do not want to miss. We have a perfect location, and throughout the four days of MIPIM 2022, we have several meetings scheduled with potential investors and we hope that our space continues to capture the attention of visitors interested in getting to know the city and its investment opportunities».
On the 16th of March, Carlos Moedas and Rui Moreira will join during the Portuguese Conference promoting a joint debate to present to international investors the main challenges and opportunities that are opening up in the two largest Portuguese cities.
On Tuesday, March 15th, Rui Moreira will also be one of the speakers at the Political Leaders' Summit, a meeting of policy makers. On March 17th, Carlos Moedas will represent Lisbon on the panel “Green is the new black: Local initiatives to tackle global challenges”.
