EXPO REAL 2021 will take place in Munich from October 11 to 13. Here we present what you can expect from the international trade fair for real estate and investment and to what extent the program could also be of interest to planners.
After Expo Real 2020 had to be canceled due to the pandemic, it will take place again this October. And it will be held in the old-fashioned and analog way on site at the Munich exhibition grounds. This year, however, admission is subject to proof of the 3G rule (vaccination, recovery or negative test), registration of contact details and wearing a medical mask at all times on the premises.
Over 1100 exhibitors from the fields of real estate services, project development, economic regions and others will present themselves in a total of seven halls. In addition, seven forums will be held, there will be 100 moderated sessions and over 180 speakers will share their knowledge during the three days of Expo Real 2021.
We have looked through the conference program of Expo Real 2021 and present some of the most interesting talks for you below.
Monday 11.10.2021
How sustainable is Corona? Hall A2, stand 450
What impact will a possible change in people’s behavior have on urban development and real estate? What new ideas are emerging as a result?
11:00 – 12:00 a.m.
ESG & Sustainability – Concrete solutions instead of pure greenwashing Hall A1, conference room A11/A12
How can the real estate industry achieve sustainability? What are quick wins, what can achieve the most in the medium term, what role will future regulation play and where are the biggest hurdles?
12:00 – 13:00
Resilient cities: resilience as a criterion Hall C1, Stand 340
Resilience is a term that is often heard in times of corona and flood disasters. What about the power of cities to deal with crises? What contribution can the real estate industry make? Representatives of cities exchange views with project developers and investors.
16:00 – 17:00
Opening up cities: Reconnecting people, nature, public space and the green economy. Hall B1, Stand 440
The Barcelona Catalonia Conference is open to everyone! We will debate the latest trends, challenges and opportunities that the post Covid-19 period opens up for us.
Tuesday 12.10.2021
10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Construction Tech: 3D-printed houses – new hype or solution to many problems? Hall A2, booth 450
The first 3D-printed houses have already been built and the process promises to save time and money. Does this herald a new way of building? What are the prerequisites?
10:00 – 11:30 a.m.
Great climate? On the contrary! Responsibility for real estate and investments Hall C1, Stand 340
The number of climate disasters is increasing. In Europe, too, people have died this year, landscapes have been devastated, buildings and entire towns have been ruined. For far too long, far too many have looked the other way and done nothing. But the pressure is mounting. Because climate change affects us existentially. There is no second Earth.
13:30 – 14:30
ESG on the rise! Who pays the bill? Hall A2, Conference Room A21/A22
The call for ecological, social and societal responsibility is unmistakable in politics and business. This is reflected in the tightening of regulatory requirements and the voluntary commitment of market participants such as tenants, financial institutions and investors.
16:00 – 17:00
Sustainable urban development in Cologne: What is important in the neighborhood of the future? Hall B1, Stand 440
The requirements for modern neighborhood developments are high: space is needed for living, working, shopping and leisure. Transport connections must be good, the quality of life must be high and the concept of sustainability must not be neglected. What is the approach to sustainable urban development?
16:30 – 17:30
ESG: More than just three letters Hall C1, Stand 340
The EU requires compliance with the investment criteria Environment, Social and Governance. On the way to more responsibility and sustainability, it is the specific content that counts. Some, but not all, market participants find it easy to deal with this. But ESG is essential.
Wednesday 13.10.2021
10:00 – 11:00 a.m.
New solutions for city centers Hall C1, Stand 340
City centers no longer offer what many expect from them. Often enough, even before the outbreak of the pandemic, many things seemed unattractive. What is part of an attractive city center and what is not? New solutions are needed. There are many opinions on this. What about experiences?
11:30 – 12:30 a.m.
Flying high: High buildings, high benefits? Hall C1, Stand 340
High-rise buildings have long characterized the silhouettes of many cities and the number is increasing. Vertical structures at least reduce soil sealing in the area. However, controversy often arises before building upwards. These are also to be expected in this discussion.
13:00 – 14:00
Houses with wood: Old building material for new buildings Hall C1, Stand 340
The return to wood as a building material is booming. In addition to concrete and steel, wood is now increasingly being used again. Is a centuries-old tradition pointing to the future of construction? Where does the wood come from? At what price? Sustainability is about ecological and economic aspects.
