MIPIM in Full Swing

The twenty-fifth MIPIM is in full swing down at Cannes. We’ve had some really successful meetings, particularly on behalf of our client, Phi Lighting, who are design-led lighting specialists. It’s been very interesting to feel the pulse of the market. The mood this year has certainly seemed far more optimistic than we’ve seen in recent years.

Boris Johnson was full of his usual joie de vivre as he highlighted the positive spinoffs that overseas investment has brought to the capital. However, he was still keen to stress the need for more affordable housing. Michael Newey of RICS held the view that we need to learn how to adapt existing buildings.


As ever, the trends coming out of MIPIM are thought provoking and from our perspective, it’s invaluable to assimilate the views of the sector’s thought leaders.
