beheld in2017 forthesecond time, organisedbyIberian.Property.
Aiming to attract investors from all over the world to show
firsthand the reasons why the Portuguese market has been
asserting itself as a destination for foreign capital, the Portu-
gal Real Estate Summit will present a
«luxury»
conference
program, featuring international leaders in the fields of eco-
nomics, investment, banking, asset management, financial
and market analysis, on the same stage to share their vision
of the current state of the sector in this country.
With the Iberian.Property seal, the event has garnered ex-
tensive support from the real estate industry, with spon-
sorship confirmed by Aguirre Newman, CBRE, Cushman
& Wakefield and JLL, as well as Abreu Advogados, MLGTS

spread support from the main associations and bodies that
mobilise real estate investment on a global, European and
national scale, including RICS-Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors, EPRA–European Public Real Estate Association,
ULI – Urban Land Institute and ASPRIMA, the real estate
developers association of Madrid. ACAI, APPII, APAF and
APFIPP are the Portuguese entities associatedwith this event.
Following the success of the previous edition, and with in-
terest in the Portuguese property market remaining strong
among global capital, the organisers expect this second
edition to surpass the number of participants registered in
2016. We recall that 280 people attended last year’s event,
including among the audience representatives from around
a hundred international investors from markets such as the
UK, US, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Brazil. Blackstone,
Benson Elliot, CBRE Global Investors, Fidelidade-FOSUN,
Green Oak, HIG Capital, Lone Star, Merlin SOCIMI, M7 Real
Estate, Meyer Bergman, Orion Capital and Patriziawere among
the international investment firms represented at the event.
“The greatest private equity investors, investment banks and
institutional investors in the world attended this event”
, recalls
António Gil Machado, from the event’s organisation. “
Aside
from investors who are already familiar with the Portuguese
property market, several others who had not invested in Por-
tugal yet saw this event as a unique opportunity to get to know
the national market and players better
”, Machado concludes.
