At Prague Property Forum 2026, the residential panel, chaired by Radek Kučera, brought together leading public and private-sector players to dissect why Prague’s housing remains so expensive and what it will take to change course. The discussion revolved around sluggish permitting, structural undersupply, land policy, the role of institutional capital, and the capacity of the construction industry to scale up.

At Bucharest Business Forum 2026, the closing panel brought together senior executives from residential, logistics, and asset management to explore how Romania can unlock its next phase of growth. Moderated by Ana Dumitrache, CEO, Olympian Parks, the discussion ranged from unlearning old market reflexes and rethinking “location,” to the disruptive impact of AI and the structural gaps still holding Romania back versus peers like Poland. Despite working in different segments, the speakers converged on a few core themes: long‑term value over short‑term volume, community and quality over simple density, and disciplined governance as the missing ingredient for Romania’s full potential.

Property Forum’s recent Bucharest Business Forum 2025 highlighted a critical shift in how companies approach Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies, with industry leaders emphasising that sustainability is no longer an optional checkbox but a fundamental business imperative.

As elsewhere, the investment market in Poland is struggling with high interest rates and financing costs. Some asset classes though, such as flats for rent and warehouses, remain a desirable commodity among investors - this is how the panel discussion focusing on investment and financing trends at Future of Real Estate 2023 can be summarised. The event was organised by Property Forum and RICS in Warsaw this week.

Rents for commercial projects that are being developed at present in Romania will grow in the next 2-3 years, while demand for green buildings will continue to expand, concluded speakers at a panel discussion at Property Forum’s annual Summer Networking Party organised in Bucharest.

One of the most important factors for decision making in any business these days is understanding and complying with ESG standards. If a company wants to grow and be successful, it should follow the needs of customers and investors much more than ever before, said the experts of the ESG panel at Bratislava Property Forum 2022.
