Now in its 17th year, participants in CEE GRI consistently value the advantages of sourcing deal flow among the most senior and accomplished real estate leaders from across the region.
Is it time for investors to bet on a diversified portfolio to escape economic volatility and the market’s uncertain momentum?
After a tough period, and still experiencing the consequences of the ongoing geopolitical crisis, CEE countries must continue navigating in unknown waters. With increased interest rates and higher risks for lending, real estate players may need to seek alternative sources of funding to avoid a freeze in the sector.
But could the investment backdrop push investors towards more risk and new opportunities?
The recent population influx from the eastern borders of the European Union has given the region’s real estate sector a glimpse of hope. CEE’s real estate market still has a few aces up its sleeve to work around the current challenges and achieve success.
Format A series of informal roundtable discussions in which everyone can participate, bringing business leaders together to navigate the challenges facing the sector and develop strategies to capitalise on future trends.
Audience Leading Private Equity Investors, Fund Managers, Operators, LPs, Developers, Asset Owners, and Lenders with investments across all regions and asset classes in CEE.
