MIPIM, the global urban festival, will welcome delegations from more than 90 countries to take part in its extended four-day programme of speeches, panels, awards and networking in Cannes.
Every year MIPIM brings together the world’s property, investment and political leaders to uncover solutions to the major challenges our cities face whilst driving forward the real estate industry. Sanna Marin, the former Prime Minister of Finland, will open the festival with a keynote speech. Belit Nejat Onay, Lord Mayor of Hannover and Sophie Hæstorp Andersen, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, are among other notable political speakers.

One of the major events at MIPIM, the Political Leader’s Summit held on Tuesday, will bring together policymakers from across the globe to share perspectives and priorities as they prepare their cities for the evolution of long-term drivers such as geopolitics, demographics, technology and end-users’ expectations.
Nicolas Kozubek, MIPIM Director, said:
“As the industry is transforming, shaped by geopolitical, demographic and technological factors, collaboration between the public servants and business leaders is crucial for the sector’s ongoing transformation.
At MIPIM 2024, we will see political and business leaders gather to discuss practical solutions for our cities and work together towards a more diverse, sustainable, and profitable real estate future.
With changes to global monetary policy and a softening of rates factored into investment strategies, there will be plenty of opportunities for investors and cities to agree on new solutions to support the growth of cities and major projects across our built environment.”
MIPIM 2024 promises to build upon the huge success of the 2023 edition, which attracted over 22,500 delegates, including 6,500 investors representing 76 of the world’s top 100 investment managers, advising on €4 trillion of assets.

Housing Matters! event takes places on Monday 11 March.
