From March 11 to 14, 2025, the legendary Palais des Festivals in Cannes will once again become the epicenter of the global real estate market, hosting the largest international forum — MIPIM 2025. More than 20,000 participants from 90 countries, including executives of the largest investment funds, developers, innovative companies, and government representatives, will gather on the French Riviera to define the future of the global real estate industry.
The key real estate event of the year
Founded in 1990, MIPIM is rightly considered the premier event for real estate professionals. Today, as the industry undergoes a period of transformation driven by demographic shifts, global digitalization, and the climate agenda, the need for collaborative solutions is more relevant than ever.
Guests and participants
Mayors of major European capitals — London, Rome, Madrid, and Athens — will attend MIPIM 2025 to join international investors managing assets exceeding €4 trillion in discussing the future of “sustainable cities”, infrastructure projects, and innovative investment strategies.
Among the participants are leading global funds and institutional investors: AXA IM Alts, CBRE Global Investors, GIC, Zurich Insurance, PIMCO Prime Real Estate, Qatar Investment Authority, and many others.
In 2025, the forum’s geography expands: for the first time, delegations from Bahrain, Uzbekistan, and South Korea will take part, reinforcing MIPIM's status as a truly global event.
Expanded program: relevant topics and new formats
In 2025, the forum’s program covers key market sectors: residential, commercial, and industrial real estate, healthcare, logistics, and data centers. Special attention is given to the industry’s modern challenges — from the integration of artificial intelligence to decarbonization and talent acquisition.
Key events of the program include:
-
Housing Matters! — an international summit focused on practical solutions to the housing crisis, migration, aging populations, and the shortage of affordable housing.
-
HTL Connection — a new platform for hospitality, tourism, and leisure professionals, featuring industry leaders such as Accor, Hilton, Hyatt, and Radisson.
-
AI at MIPIM — a two-day strategic program dedicated to implementing artificial intelligence in property management, investment strategies, and operational efficiency.
