by Ovidiu Nicolae | Interview

Charles Boudet, CEO of iO Partners, described for Property Forum how AI and digitalisation are reshaping real estate in CEE. From innovative tools like iO4Land to strategic expansion in Austria and Serbia, the company is looking to drive efficiency, growth, and resilience across multiple sectors.
