(28 November 2023, Hong Kong) The 17th MIPIM Asia Summit returns this year, gathering prominent international investors for insightful discussions on Asian real estate sector and investment opportunities around the globe. The MIPIM Asia Summit 2023, comprising of the prestigious MIPIM Asia Awards Ceremony, will take place on the 5th and 6th of December 2023 at the Grand Hyatt in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been the hosting city of the MIPIM Asia Summit since its first edition, which has grown into the most reputable real estate investment marketplace ever since.
The real estate industry is entering a new cycle, with a strong emphasis on Asia’s thriving markets. As economies globally prepare for potential economic, political, and environmental uncertainties, Asia offers a wealth of opportunities for international real estate players. The region encompasses a mix of emerging markets and established cities, attracting the interest of industry stakeholders.
The real estate sector is facing a significant shift in sentiment as rising interest rates begin to exert their influence. The impact of these increasing rates has triggered a ripple effect across the sector. While the current shift in sentiment presents challenges, it also offers a chance for investors to reassess their portfolios and explore alternative investment avenues. Diversification, innovative financing models, and a keen focus on market trends would be able to help investors navigate this evolving landscape.
“There is a favourite saying in the business sectors: ‘Where there is adversity, there is opportunity’, we believe the dynamic market presents unprecedented new opportunities especially for international investors,” commented Nicolas Kozubek, Head of MIPIM Markets, “while the Summit functions as a marketplace to facilitate deals and partnerships across the real estate industry, now would be the best time to identify the right business partners and to secure more sustainable growth at MIPIM Asia 2023.”
