SHAPING TOMORROW: KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM MIPIM 2025

MIPIM 2025 provided a week of inspiration and insight in Cannes, despite the wettest weather in years. The event offered a glimpse into the changes reshaping the real estate landscape. Key themes emerged around smart infrastructure and sustainable practices, reflecting the sector’s commitment to building cities that are not only functional but also future-proof.

The atmosphere was optimistic, but aware of the challenges ahead. Conversations covered shifting geopolitics, global financial uncertainties and the unpredictable nature of the world we now navigate. It was clear that during disruption, agility and innovation are essential, along with collaborations across borders and sectors.

The notable emphasis on diversity and inclusion this year, empowered voices that can often be underrepresented in the industry. One such event was ‘Ladies Who Cannes‘ which provided an inclusive platform for women to connect, share insights, and build relationships within a supportive community.

In addition to the discussions, we were proud to be part of the SwiMIPIM event, helping raise over £10,000 for Streets of London -a charity for people experiencing homelessness. The open-water swim, was not only a physical challenge but a symbol of how our sector can come together for a cause bigger than business.
