Each October, Munich becomes the meeting point of global real estate and investment as EXPO REAL returns to the halls of Messe München.
Founded in 1998, the fair has grown into Europe’s leading platform for property, finance, and urban development, drawing thousands of professionals from across the world. Over three days, investors, architects, developers, and policymakers converge to exchange ideas on the evolving landscape of the built environment.
At its core, EXPO REAL is a forum for dialogue — a place where strategy meets innovation. The program spans hundreds of panels and discussions covering the industry’s defining themes, from ESG principles and sustainable construction to digitalization and the future of smart cities. Dedicated zones such as NOVA³ spotlight emerging technologies and startups, capturing the sector’s forward-looking momentum.
Beyond its business agenda, the fair reflects Europe’s ongoing urban narrative. Debates around affordable housing, infrastructure resilience, and climate-neutral development underscore the event’s relevance to both policy and practice.
In an era defined by transformation, EXPO REAL stands not merely as a trade fair but as a barometer of change — a place where vision, capital, and urban ambition intersect.
