The Portugal Real Estate Summit 2026 is set to host an opening session titled "Construir Portugal – a closer look at the Portuguese Government's strategy", conducted in an interview format with Miguel Pinto Luz, Minister of Infrastructure and Housing of the Portuguese Government.
Taking place on September 14th and 15th at Hotel Palácio Estoril in Lisbon, the Summit is expected to gather over 350 global leaders and investors to analyse portugal’s position as a premier investment destination. Organised by Iberian Property, the event is now celebrating its X edition, serving as a platform for industry professionals to examine key economic trends and local strategies shaping the real estate landscape.
The conversation with the Minister will address the questions shaping investment decisions across the sector today: what tools and policies is the Government deploying to shift from market restrictions toward supply-side incentives — and what do the recent legislative changes really mean for investors on the ground?
Day 1, a brief overview of the agenda
Following the Minister's session, the first afternoon moves into "Living & Hospitality", with Paulo Sarmento, Head of Portugal at Cushman & Wakefield, and Augusto Lobo, Head of Portugal Capital Markets at JLL, delivering a joint presentation on capital allocation and market fundamentals across those sectors.
The "Residential – new policies & incentives" roundtable follows, gathering representatives from Sonae Sierra, Krest Investments, Caixa Geral de Depósitos, and Grupo San Jose, to debate whether the Government's tax measures go far enough — and who will finance the sector's next phase. As housing rises to the top of the political agenda investors are called to take an even more prominent role to find solutions on how to address the demand-supply imbalance.
Digital infrastructure gets its own spotlight this year with "The new Digital Infrastructure race", where representatives from Merlin Properties, Start Campus, and EDP Renewables, will discuss Portugal's connectivity, energy capacity, land availability and how to attract and boost investment at scale.
Delegates can then choose from six interactive breakout sessions spanning new living formats, hospitality, retail, offices and logistics, and two sessions dedicated specifically to "Construir Portugal" — one on the RJUE 2.0 licensing reform and one on tax incentives, giving investors direct follow-up on the Minister's opening remarks.
Organised by Iberian Property, the Summit is held under the with the support of Abreu Advogados, CBRE, Caixa Geral Depósitos, Cuhsman & Wakefield, Deloitte, JLL, Morais Leitão, Nhood, Norfin, Refundos Explorer, Savills, and Square Asset Management.
