UPCOMING EVENT
All sectors of activity are facing a context of significant transformations. The most prominent factors include the uncertainty of international trade due to changing tariffs, the new, unstable global geopolitical map, fluctuations in national conditions (e.g., housing, real estate, labor and relevant regulations), tension in the financial sector (interest rates, crypto, stock market developments that include divergence between the US and Europe), and technological advances.
In addition to these general transformations, changes have also occurred in the industry as a whole: segments once believed to be exhausted are re-emerging, what were previously known as alternative segments now form part of core business, and corporate operations currently constitute a new competitive landscape. Financing is diverse, but often erratic in terms of quantities and conditions, thus adding yet another component of complexity. In addition, changes now affect people: top managers and entrepreneurs are taking on new roles and responsibilities.
In this context, real estate companies have to adapt and also prosper, and this has become everyone’s goal. Some rules are easier to identify than others, including the importance of data and data processing, using artificial intelligence as a key tool, and the need for flexibility. However, other rules are less obvious and involve working with experts and deep reflection. All this will require strengthening or restructuring the organization and finding the keys to consolidate its competitive advantages.
