Theme
The coming cycle will shape and encourage The Next Economy; where commerce, investment, and entrepreneurship are focussed on building long term success in a growing and increasingly mature global system, but with many hazards, constraints, and challenges. Can Europe define its global role more clearly? What role will our cities play? And what will the next economy require in terms of real estate? Which cities are better equipped than others, and which drivers for investment are global players looking for in the old Europe? To unlock the opportunities of the next Economy and the new cycle we will need to work out how to refinance the tsunami of old debt, manage the effects of e-commerce on retail, master the changing rules and regulations of the investment game, make sustainability our core business model, and establish our edge in the war for talent from a competitive, but greying, Europe.
Discover the secrets and seize the opportunities of the next property cycle at this one day event.
