PROPERTY | NICE | MIPIM most people in the industry are looking for a serious way to move forward. Despite the downturn, London has remained strong and people are still keen to invest here, so we’re looking forward to attending, especially as this year the UK is the country of honour.” ➳ RON BAKKER PARTNER PLP ARCHITECTURE UK “Our fi rm has been attending MIPIM since it started and we’ve seen it move from being a purely European event to one that attracts people from the US, Middle East and Asia. This suits us very well as we have also grown as a practice to cover a more global market. “I’ve always found MIPIM a good place to catch up with people I know in the industry and now it’s also a good forum for meeting new clients or partners. It has become the key event for the international real-estate industry to generate business development. “It’s a great place for the exchange of ideas, a showcase for what diff erent companies are working on and who is looking to invest. It gives us a chance to see what else is happening, what’s new or where the emerging regions are.” ➳ BEST OF BRITISH This year the UK is MIPIM’s country of honour, which means there will be a series of conferences and events dedicated to exploring its investment opportunities. In addition to panel-led discussions and meetings on the UK real-estate market, there will be presentations from major UK cities, private-sector fi rms and government development agencies. 100 | TRAVELLER | MARCH 11 ➳ GOING GLOBAL Dr Nouriel Roubini, professor of economics at New York’s Stern School of Business, will address the conference about the global economic outlook and its implication for the realestate industry. Dr Roubini is a highly regarded economist and US government advisor, who was one of the few people to predict the current economic crisis. Don’t miss it. ➳ DENIS TERSEN CEO PARIS REGION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY FRANCE “Our role is to generate investment from overseas investors and enterprises in Paris and its surrounding regions, so MIPIM is hugely important to us as a way of reaching a broad base of international businesses. “We can provide information on all of Paris’s regions, so we can help companies identify the locations with the best realestate options, transport links and facilities for them. “We’re aiming to promote Paris as somewhere for sustainable building and green technology. We’re also a region that off ers a high level of creativity and innovation, technological and scientifi c research. Explaining all of this is easier through face-to-face contact with people. “Both the private and public sectors have had a bad time over the past few years, so we’re likely to see more partnerships between the sectors now. It’s also useful to show that government can play a part in generating development, and that plans need to be put in place for the long term.” MIPIM HIGHLIGHTS WORK THE ROOM AT ONE OF THESE TALKS OR EVENTS ➳ AND THE REST Other highlights include workshops about moving into emerging markets, country and industryspecifi c presentations, and the prestigious MIPIM awards ceremony. One of the projects everyone is buzzing about is the new Venezia Lifestyle Center (pictured overleaf), an urban shopping and offi ce centre just outside Venice, which is due to open in March 2012. ➳ MARKUS NEURAUTER MD RAIFFEISEN EVOLUTION AUSTRIA “As a commercial and residential developer we work across 11 countries in Europe and have been attending MIPIM since 2004. We’re sending eight delegates this year, and will be joining the Austrian stand. MIPIM is a good chance to meet new contacts in the real-estate industry and present projects for investment opportunities. “We have several projects in the pipeline right now but SkyTower is probably the most spectacular. This offi ce block is going to be the tallest building in Bucharest and is part of an urban development in the northeast of the city. I think <strong>2011</strong> will be the year when the markets, especially in central and south Eastern Europe, will start to grow again.” ➳ JOHN WRIGHT DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS VACANT PROPERTY SPECIALISTS UK “This is the fi rst year we’ve attended MIPIM. We decided to take a stand this year because we feel our business, which off ers security solutions to vacant commercial premises, is ready to expand – the downturn has caused more retail and business units to become empty and there’s potential for growth. We have a presence in the US and most areas of Europe but feel it would be useful to show what we do to a wider global audience. MIPIM is the ideal forum for that. “MIPIM is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to expand our portfolio, build relationships and explain our business model to people who don’t yet know about the services we can off er. It also gives us the chance to see what potential there is in new markets. I think <strong>2011</strong> will see an increase in the need for property-management services such as ours in other countries.” MIPIM runs from 8–11 March, mipim.com easyJet flies to...
