At Bratislava Property Forum 2026, investors and market experts compared notes on where capital is actually moving in CEE real estate and what is still holding it back. The opening discussion, moderated by Rudolf Nemec MRICS, Partner & Head of Capital Markets at Cushman & Wakefield Slovakia, made it clear that while activity is picking up, higher financing costs, geopolitical uncertainty and stricter return expectations continue to shape how and where deals get done.

From capital allocation to residential demand and the future of core assets, the key questions facing Slovakia’s real estate market will be tackled by those making the decisions. Next week's Bratislava Property Forum 2026 brings together investors, developers, lenders and occupiers for a day of insight into where the market is heading next.
