Mar 06, 2026 Latest News

From a 75-year legacy as a forward-looking agenda, FIABCI's World President Antonio Campagnoli says that the International Real Estate Federation will be bringing a forward-looking vision to MIPIM in its anniversary year.

“FIABCI was built on the idea that real estate performs best when professionalism, ethics and international cooperation are placed at the center of industry growth," he said, as the organization prepares to set out its vision 2035 agenda.

"FIABCI is entering its next phase with renewed focus, shaped by members and the evolving realities of our built environment: housing affordability, resilience, sustainability, demographic shifts and the transformation of cities through technology and investment," Narek Arakelyan, FIABCI Secretary-General, said.

"FIABCI has been working to develop FIABCI Vision 2035 and a refreshed strategic plan. Our priorities include strengthening chapter performance and governance, expanding member services and international programs, enhancing global partnerships and institutional engagement, and building stronger business-oriented platforms," he added.

This roadmap will be formally presented during the 76th FIABCI World Real Estate Congress in Vienna in June, which will set the tone for the decade ahead, according to Matthias Gass, President of FIABCI-Austria and Chair of the Congress, "coming at a time when our sector is being reshaped by fundamental questions about how we finance and deliver housing, how we plan resilient cities, and how we create places that perform economically while serving people and communities."

Lily Chang, FIABCI World President-Elect, adds that FIABCI is also organizing a trade mission to Taichung in September as part of expansion in the APAC region.

"Taichung represents a dynamic model of urban development and investment potential and the trade mission will be designed to provide both strategic insight and practical connections across the broader region. It will also serve as a platform to showcase Taiwan's expertise and innovation in the built environment - reinforcing FIABCI's role as a bridge between markets and a catalyst for international cooperation," she said.

The body is also expanding in the GCC and Africa, adds Abdullah Al Harbi, President of FIABCI-Saudi Arabia and First Vice-President, Africa & Near East Regional Committee, who points to the "remarkable pace" of real estate development.

"FIABCI's role is to ensure that this momentum is matched by professional standards, meaningful knowledge exchange and stronger public-private cooperation platforms that connect local priorities with international expertise," he said.
