The city of Ghent is delighted to invite you to their annual MIPIM conference. For this year’s edition, we are pleased to announce a joint collaboration with the city of Paris.
“Histoire d’Eau” will discuss the impact of water on real estate development inside our cities, with specific attention to biodiversity. The cities of Paris, Ghent and Kortrijk will provide an in-depth analysis of this new topic.
Furthermore, water is on its way to becoming the super highway of tomorrow’s logistics axes. A fitting example is the future development of the Seine-Scheldt connection, not only as an economic
catalyst, but also as a generator of new real estate opportunities. Voies navigables de France and the Port of Ghent will share practical insights into the potential of this development.
