International real estate exhibition Expo Real 2019: business program key topics

The international real estate and investment exhibition Expo Real 2019 will be held from October 7 to 9 in Munich, Germany. The exhibition offers an extensive conference program on developments and trends in the international markets as well as the individual segments. 

The subject of housing has long been firmly established at Expo Real and in the conference program of the fair. In the conference program at Expo Real, organizers offer a forum where the topic can be discussed and where it’s not only about representing different standpoints but finding common ground in solving the problem.

The subject of housing is closely connected with the development of the cities but is only one of the urgent problems. The changes and challenges of increasing urbanization are one main emphasis of the conference program, which brings some very capable people together on this subject — including Peter Glus, Senior Vice President, Director of the Arcadis New Mobility Team from Arcadis U.S. — in order to discuss the effects of urbanization, e-commerce and growing mobility.

Another overriding topic is the question of what’s going to happen with Europe and the EU. It certainly isn’t just the still unresolved question of Brexit which has changed Europe, it’s also the changed majorities in the European Parliament after the elections as well as the divergent development of the individual member states. Dr. Ulrich Kater, Chief Economist of DekaBank, will be describing the economic implications in his keynote speech, these will then be expanded on in the discussion which follows. And looking to the international markets, a main emphasis is Pacific Asia. Here it’s about the capital flows both from Europe to the markets there and vice versa — the increased involvement in Europe on the part of investors from Pacific Asia.
