INVESTMENTexpo 2026 - TOPICS

The specific content will be continuously updated from mid-October 2025 here.

The INVESTMENTexpo Programme is developed in collaboration with the advisory board. Approximately half of slots on the 30 to 40 panels (keynotes, discussions, presentations) are allocated to INVESTMENTexpo partners. The other half will be allocated to institutional investors, the advisory board, companies from outside the real asset industry and other speakers who will make a substantial contribution to the topics. This is the only way we can ensure in-depth and comprehensive knowledge transfer and dialogue.
