Investor Interest Drives Innovation
Forum Centre Stage at MIPIM 2017
Five years after introducing tech innova-
tion as a component of MIPIM, the world’s
property market is moving its Innovation
Forum to the centre of its exhibition zone.
Among the companies represented in the
expanded Innovation Forum zone are
energy solution providers, crowdfunding
specialists and exhibitors focussing on in-
telligent buildings. Together, these com-
panies are part of the growing ‘PropTech’
community. In the first nine months of
2016, industry data showed that real es-
tate tech companies have raised $2.1 bil-
lion across 167 deals.
The MIPIM Innovation Forum will host
60 exhibitors and a dedicated conference
programme in a 1,500 sq. m area. The in-
novation highlight at this year’s MIPIM
will be the finals of the MIPIM Startup
Competition to be held on 15 March,
2017, when a winner will be chosen from
the nine finalists.
“Innovation has become a major topic at MIPIM.
This is reflected by our decision to move the
Innovation Forum to the centre of the Palais
des Festivals, at the heart of MIPIM.”
Filippo Rean,
Head of the Real Estate Division at Reed MIDEM

presenting the metropolitan Rhine-Neckar
region together at the joint booth. The goal is
to provide transparency about the Rhine-Neckar

90 countries, the trade fair “MIPIM” is one of
Europe’s most important real estate trade fairs,
