EXPO REAL 2011 is opening with an expected 1,600 exhibitors from about 35 countries. That´s about the same order of magnitude as last year. Eugen Egetenmeir, Managing Director of Messe München, said "In the wake of the debt crisis, and all the turbulence on the financial markets and in share prices, these figures show that EXPO REAL, with its focus on investment in commercial property, is proving to be a stabilising force." The 14th International Trade Fair for Commercial Property and Investment takes place from 4 to 6 October 2011 in Munich.
Taking up a total of 6 exhibition halls and 64,000 sq. metres of space, EXPO REAL 2011 covers. Among the countries taking national pavilions in 2011 are Austria, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United States of America.
Mirroring the economic development in Europe, EXPO REAL has seen a downturn in participation figures from Southern Europe. Contrasting with this, countries in Western and Central Europe are more strongly represented at the fair again: this applies, for example, to Austria, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The Netherlands has almost doubled its number of exhibitors, and Amsterdam has a dedicated joint stand. Also exhibiting again after a break are China and Romania. And, Malta is at EXPO REAL for the first time as an exhibitor.
Conference programme..!
The 3 day conference programme promises new insights and angles on the international property markets. Starting the ball rolling is Professor Dr. Max Otte, founder and director of the IFVE Institut für Vermögensentwicklung GmbH in Cologne, who back in 2006 prophesied the financial crisis in his book 'Der Crash kommt' (The Crash is Coming). Professor Otte is taking part in the opening discussion called 'Investors´ darling again: The international view of Germany as an investment location', on 4 October 2011 at 11:00 in the EXPO REAL FORUM (Hall A2). Also giving his views on the current economic situation in the property sector is Dr. Ulrich Kater, Chief Economist at DekaBank, in the Main Press Conference, on 4 October 2011 at 14:00 in the MEDIA LOUNGE (Hall A1).
Other highlights include a welcoming address to the participants in EXPOBIKE, a cycle race from Cologne to EXPO REAL, given by Dr Andreas Scheuer, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development. This takes place on the first day of the fair at 11:15 in the International Guest Reception area by the West Entrance.
Former German Minister (now retired), Rudolf Scharping, is taking part in the 'Europe meets Asia' Conference Day in the INVESTMENT LOCATIONS FORUM on 5 October 2011 at 11:00 (Hall A1). Also, Dr Heiner Geissler is giving an exclusive lecture at the stand of the metropolitan region of Rhine-Neckar on 5 October 2011 at 14:00 entitled: 'Fit for the future! What are the critical success factors for large-scale development projects in Germany?'
