 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.
