Real Estate Arena 2025 in Hanover sets new standards

Impetus for transformation, digitalization, and municipal cooperation

With 406 exhibiting companies and around 7,500 visitors, Real Estate Arena 2025 has established itself as a central platform for the construction and real estate industry. For two days, the exhibition grounds in Hanover became a meeting place for decision-makers from business, politics, science, and municipal practice. The event not only showcased innovations, but also promoted exchange on current challenges in an uncertain market environment.

Digital impetus and strong municipal networking

This year, the focus was particularly on digital solutions and municipal cooperation. With Europe's largest PropTech pitch event, the Real Estate Arena provided at the Trade Fair Hanover a stage for more than 170 young companies. At the same time, the combination with the German Association of Cities ensured intensive encounters between business and local authorities – a dialogue that was also reflected in topics such as recycling management, social housing, and urban development. The REAL Future Conference, organized by blackprint, complemented the program with keynotes, panels, and masterclasses on topics including artificial intelligence and resilient urban structures.

Industry shows optimism despite pressure

Despite the tense market situation, the response from exhibitors was consistently positive. Major players such as Schindler, Züblin, and the Bünting Group praised the quality of visitors and the trade fair format. Representatives from the housing industry were also satisfied: the “WoWi Quarter” provided a space for discussion on affordable housing. The positive response underscored the importance of the Real Estate Arena as a solution-oriented platform. The next edition of the trade fair has already been announced: the Real Estate Arena will take place again in Hanover from May 20 to 21, 2026.
