From March 9 to 13, Cannes will host the 35th edition of MIPIM, an international real estate trade show and congress that draws key figures from the industry, including investors, developers, and municipal representatives. Last year's event saw participation from over 20,000 guests and 300 exhibitors from 90 countries, with attendees managing assets worth 4 trillion euros. The event not only serves as a platform for business networking but also features award ceremonies recognizing outstanding contributions in the field.

Aligned with the discussions at MIPIM, the European Commission has introduced a plan aimed at addressing the housing crisis by increasing the supply of affordable housing through new investments. This plan reflects a rising concern in Europe regarding the accessibility of housing for a growing population amid ongoing economic challenges. In addition, prominent economist Philippe Aghion is scheduled to deliver a keynote speech, likely focusing on the intersection of economic strategies, creative destruction, and housing solutions.

The convergence of these two themes at MIPIM highlights critical issues facing the real estate market today, including how creative destruction can pave the way for innovative solutions in urban development and housing affordability. The participation of a strong Polish delegation emphasizes Poland's proactive stance in the global real estate arena, as they seek to not only network but also learn about new strategies to tackle local housing challenges.
