Is this Poland’s Golden Age of Development?
Film, presentation and Q&A

Developers in Poland have gone way beyond the functional and are now building the inspirational, developing schemes which enhance the local community and look to the future. The schemes they are building would make any country or city around the world proud. This is happening across Poland, especially in Warsaw. In front of our eyes, the capital is becoming one of the most dynamic cities in the world.

The session will start off with a short film – especially commissioned by Poland Today for Mipim 2017 – which will show Poland’s leading projects of the future, described in their own words by the projects’ developers. After that, we’ll be inviting onto the stage – one at a time – the leading developers in Poland, to talk about their key projects in short Q&A’s with the session host, Richard Betts, Publisher of PropertyEU – and with the audience.

Polska & CEE: Closer together or further apart?
Venue: Ruby Room, Level 5
Open to all Mipim attendees

Poland is the undisputed heavyweight of Central Europe. Are the other CE countries getting closer to Poland or moving further away? While developers in Poland & CEE move forward with impressive schemes, what is the economic outlook which will underpin their success – or the potential pitfalls? What are the factors which will affect the region’s economic performance – and in turn its real estate market – in the short, medium and long-term? What do major international investors say about the region in the light of recent political issues? What are the future destinations for the region’s newest and fastest-growing sector – business services? What issues is the success of Business Services throwing up, and how best to deal with them? How are the needs of the Business Services providers changing?
