From macro trends and investment strategy to housing affordability, operational efficiency and lender appetite, Prague Property Forum 2026 will bring together many of the market’s most active investors, developers, lenders and advisers on May 18th at the Cubex Centre Prague.


The programme opens with a macroeconomic outlook from Gunter Deuber, Chief Economist and Head of Research at Raiffeisen Bank International, who will examine the key economic trends shaping the region’s real estate markets. This will be followed by Pia Maria Goossens of Drooms, presenting a real estate investment outlook for 2026, before a high-level panel discussion on deal flow, pricing and investor strategy featuring representatives of RSJ Investments, iREMS International AG, Amundi Czech Republic, Fidurock and Axelor Group. Together, the speakers will explore how investors are assessing risk, identifying opportunities and adapting their criteria in today’s market environment.

Alongside the main programme, senior executives will also take part in a closed-door roundtable discussion focused on data quality, portfolio performance and AI-ready financial infrastructure in cross-border investment portfolios. The session will examine how reliable operational and financial data increasingly influence investor confidence, financing conditions and long-term value creation.

The second half of the conference shifts towards operational performance and occupier-driven trends. Hubert Abt of workcloud24 will discuss how operational efficiency and sustainability performance are becoming increasingly linked to liquidity and asset value. Residential market dynamics will then take centre stage in a panel featuring speakers from DBCS, Mint Investments, Sekyra Group, Heimstaden and Prague Development Company, covering affordability, financing conditions, demand patterns and the long-term viability of housing projects in Prague and beyond.

Operational efficiency and user experience will also be explored in a dedicated discussion on smarter property operations, bringing together experts from workcloud24, SINGU, IFMA Czech Republic, Tieto and Access4you International. The conversation will focus on how technology, data and changing occupier expectations are reshaping property management and workplace strategies.

The final section of the programme turns to financing conditions and long-term market expectations. Representatives of Oberbank, Trigema, Erste Group Bank AG, Accolade Holding and Trinity Bank will discuss lender appetite, risk perception and financing strategies in a more selective environment. The event concludes with a forward-looking discussion featuring leaders from Kaufland, Invesco Real Estate, M&G Real Estate and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, examining how investors and occupiers are positioning themselves for resilient returns over the long term.

Prague Property Forum 2026 will take place at Cubex Centrum Praha on May 18th, starting at 12:00.
