Many people skip attending industry events unless they are required to. They usually underestimate the importance of these kinds of events. They find excuses such as busy schedule, expensive tickets etc . Participating at industry events is not just engaging but educating. It is an opportunity to meet most influential names in your industry. We have put together top real estate events in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Investor confidence in Europe is up sharply this year, with over 70% of investors choosing Western Europe as the most attractive global region for investment purchases. Within Europe, the UK has regained its position as the most popular country for investment this year with a fall in the proportion favouring Germany, last year’s first choice. However, the past two years have seen a sharp rise in interest in commercial real estate opportunities in African cities. International capital is beginning to focus on Africa’s real estate potential, and developers are now responding to the strong demand for modern shopping malls, offices and hotels. Within Africa, Nigeria has recently emerged as largest economy making Sub-sahara Africa an investment haven. See our annual events picks.
