MIPIM lancia un nuovo
servizio per i partecipanti a Cannes. Ecco di cosa si tratta, nel
Comunicato ufficiale diffuso dalla Reed Midem, Società
organizzatrice del Salone che si svolgerà dal 13 al 16 marzo:
"Speed matching" an innovative method for bringing together
international investors with developers, city authorities and
property consultants.
Inspired by the personal 'speed dating' concept, 'speed matching'
will see 15 pre-selected property projects pitched to an audience of
leading property investors as part of the MIPIM 2007 conference
programme.
"The launch of this exclusive concept addresses both the growing
size of investments and the need for developers to highlight their
expertise in light of the significant rise in new projects," says
MIPIM Director Nadine Castagna. MIPIM attracts over 2,200 exhibiting
firms and over 4,500 investors.
Speed matching uses a short, high-impact ten-minute format, during
which candidates present their project with the aim of encouraging
backing from the audience of international investors. Interested
parties can then enter into more detailed discussions after the
speed matching session.
At the 18th MIPIM, to be held from 13 to 16 March 2007, fifteen
projects will be presented during the first three days of the event
at a rate of five per day. Two days will be devoted to presentations
of property projects, and the third to projects from investment
funds. The speed matching sessions are being organized in
partnership with Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking and
the Russian company Mirax.
The real estate projects/funds taking part in the 'speed matching'
will be selected prior to MIPIM by a jury of international investors,
and chaired by James A. Fetgatter, Director of the US association
AFIRE (Association of Foreign Investment in Real Estate). The 'speed
matching' categories cover office buildings, industrial and hotel
property, mixed building and logistics.
There is already considerable global interest in this 'speed
matching' exercise, with project proposals from countries such as
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Greece, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, Ukraine, United Kingdom
and the United States.
