Programme Overview
The global landscape is shifting rapidly. Geopolitical tensions, economic realignments, and evolving power dynamics are reshaping industries, including real estate. Investment decisions, capital flows, and development projects are now more influenced than ever by political risks and global economic uncertainty. Denmark stands at a pivotal crossroads as a key global player in an increasingly interconnected yet unpredictable world. What does this mean for capital markets and the future of real estate investment? How can industry leaders navigate volatility while making informed, strategic decisions? We will tackle these critical questions with leading experts and industry pioneers.

This premier gathering is a must-attend event for investors, developers, and policymakers seeking to understand and anticipate the future of capital markets in an era where geopolitics and business are more interconnected than ever. Don't miss this opportunity to gain strategic foresight in uncertain times.
