• Key messages:

  • The CEE region is very attractive from the point of view of foreign investment, and this is cross-sectoral.

  • Although the boom in real estate investment in Europe continues, many real estate experts predict a decline in profitability and investors are focusing on high-quality assets in the most economically efficient markets. One of the key themes of the conference was also investment strategies used in the real-estate market and the "fight" for the highest quality assets (foreign vs. local investors).

  • You will also find a list of experts present at the conference, which might be useful to understand "who is who" among the investors interested in the region.
