MIPIM 2026 Wrap-Up: Where Conversations Turned Into Action
MIPIM 2026 was not just another industry gathering, it was a moment of alignment.
Across a week of conversations in Cannes, one thing became clear:
real estate is no longer navigating cycles, it’s navigating constant change.
And the only way forward? Collective intelligence.
A Strong Presence at the Belgian Pavilion
In partnership with Real Belgium, 87 brought energy, perspective, and purpose to the Belgian Pavilion.
We designed moments that went beyond networking, creating space for honest conversations, practical insights, and real connections.
From panels to informal exchanges, the focus stayed the same:
👉 How do we turn innovation into real business impact?
Key Conference: "Building in a World of Permanent Crisis: From Stability to Strategic Agility"
Our conference: “Building in a World of Permanent Crisis: From Stability to Strategic Agility” set the tone for the week.
Industry leaders shared a clear message:
The idea of “temporary disruption” is over
Geopolitical, economic, and environmental instability is now structural
Long-term sectors like real estate must adapt faster than ever
The takeaway was simple but powerful:
resilience is no longer enough strategic agility is the new competitive advantage.
The future of real estate will depend on resilience, adaptability, and the ability to act in uncertain times.
Thank you to the speakers for the insightful and honest discussion.

Startup Pitching: From Ideas to Opportunities
One of the highlights of our MIPIM presence was the startup pitching session.

But beyond the pitches, what mattered most was what happened after:
👉 Conversations
👉 Follow-ups
👉 Potential collaborations
Because innovation only matters when it leads to real-world implementation.
CIO Drinks: Where Connections Became Concrete
Our CIO Drinks created a more intimate setting for C-level leaders, investors, and innovators.
No panels. No slides.
Just direct, high-value conversations.
These moments reinforced something we see again and again:
the biggest opportunities don’t come from presentations they come from the right people meeting at the right time.
What We Heard Across MIPIM
Across every discussion from panels to coffee breaks a few themes kept coming back:
AI is accelerating change, but adoption remains uneven
Sustainability is a priority, but execution is still complex
Collaboration is no longer optional it’s essential
And most importantly:
👉 No company can solve these challenges alone.
What Comes Next
MIPIM is not the end, it’s the starting point.
At 87, our role is to make sure the conversations started in Cannes
don’t stay in Cannes.
We turn them into:
Targeted introductions
Strategic collaborations
Concrete business opportunities
Because in a world of permanent change,
the companies that move forward are the ones that move together.
Let’s Continue the Conversation
If we met in Cannes, let’s build on it.
If we didn’t, now is the right time to connect.
👉 Become members of the 87 community
👉 Access the right people, insights, and opportunities
👉 Turn innovation into impact
Because the future of real estate will not be built alone.
