EXPO REAL Munich – Europe's leading trade fair for real estate and investment

Strategies, networks, and trends for the future of the real estate industry

EXPO REAL in Munich is Europe's largest trade fair for real estate and investment. Every year in October, it brings together international decision-makers from across the entire real estate value chain – from project developers, investors, architects, and planners to city administrations, service providers, and financiers. It is not only a marketplace for real estate transactions, but also a strategic forum for discussions about the future of urban development, financing, sustainability, and digitalization. The trade fair is unique in its breadth: the spectrum of topics presented and participants ranges from residential and office properties to logistics, retail, and hotel projects to municipal infrastructure. With over 1,800 exhibitors from more than 30 countries and around 40,000 trade visitors, EXPO REAL offers a comprehensive overview of the trends, challenges, and opportunities in the international real estate markets.

Focus topics: ESG, digitalization, and sustainable cities

The real estate industry is facing fundamental change. Sustainability (ESG), digitalization, and social change toward new ways of working and living are key topics that will be discussed at EXPO REAL. Forums, panels, and presentations will focus on:

• Green building & climate-neutral construction
• ESG reporting and EU taxonomy
• Smart buildings and digital twins
• Urban tech & smart neighborhoods
• Logistics real estate in the age of e-commerce
• Housing development and affordable housing
• Real estate financing in times of interest rate reversals and inflation
• PropTechs, AI, and data-driven location analyses

Particular attention is paid to the transformation of existing buildings—in other words, the question of how real estate portfolios can be adapted to new ecological, social, and economic requirements.

PropTech Alley & Start-up Arena: The future is digital

One highlight of the trade fair is the “Tech Alley,” where proptech companies and start-ups present their digital solutions—from digital marketing tools and building data platforms to AI-supported evaluation and analysis methods. The trade fair is thus sending a clear message: without technology, there is no future in the real estate industry. In addition, the Real Estate Innovation Forum will discuss how digitalization is creating new business models – and how established companies can take advantage of this change.

EXPO REAL – Setting the pace for the real estate industry

In times of economic uncertainty, increasing demands for sustainability, and rapid technological change, EXPO REAL offers guidance, exchange, and perspectives. Anyone involved in the real estate industry—whether as an investor, planner, operator, or service provider—will find not only the relevant market participants here, but also valuable inspiration for the strategic direction of their business.
